What I Gave You

Now that you have left me for reason, I am a man of passed-out desires And passed over dreams 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 desires I never treated you a subordinate eve What I gave you was privileged pleasure I never gave you the pain of childbirth It was I who ate the forbidden fruit of Eden. Committing adultery in my old age. I'm a man without dreams and desires. +++++++ June 27, 2014 Form: Free Verse Dr. Ram Mehta Fourth Place Win Contest: What I gave by Sheri Fresonke Harper
