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.
