An Expected Rendezvous
I’m naked
devoid of clothes,
devoid of sparkling garments.
Yeah!
I’m fully naked.
And when HE bestows me the garments,
grants me new clothes,
I know
how difficult it is for me to put them on.
Yes, to put them in a dignified way.
My tendencies put them aside
beyond my point of reach
and I feel complacent without these clothes
and,
a great satisfaction greets me,
elements of pride clad my face.
I would like to be like that,
in the same state
until my colleague greets me,
welcomes me,
in ‘his’ closet.
I wait
and I wait
desperately and continually,
for the day to arrive.
Yea!
I feel the knocking,
and
I hear the knocking.
I hear the footsteps…
Probably someone arrives…
But, I’ll not wear those clothes
though they lie here on my bed
fluttering,
in my vicinity, yet so far,
impatiently evoking charms,
and here I sit
paying no heed to their stimulation.
‘Hey! You there,
shh!… shh!…
Don’t make any noise,
Here arrives someone,
to meet me.
