To Pamela

Now that you have left me for reason, I am a man of passed-out desires And passed over dreams Of passed-out desires I have unlearnt to find safe line Between teasing and pleasing you. I am yet to learn the difference Between bare-breasts & fashionable breasts. I’m a man of passed-out desires I have crossed to the other side And I can’t ever go back. I'm a man of passed over dreams. I caressed your body all along the day, Planted my affection on your lips Surely it will stay there forever. Hope, will stay there forever. I'm a man of passed out passions. I never treated you a subordinate eve You were only privileged to get pleasure You never got the pain of childbirth from me It was I who ate the forbidden fruit of Eden. Committing adultery in my old age. I'm a man without dreams and desires. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ OPTION; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOX_ACdOmQE (Bette Midler's version of Tom Waits "Martha") Date 2-3-14 Form : Free Verse Dr. Ram Mehta First Place Win
