the unzipped match —
a flame that heats the tips of fingers,
those sensitive appendages
that linger,
upon the cheek,
the whiskers.

erogenous zones touched by the flame,

pulled into
the black hole of her being.

And I wanted to tour the mainland, after I had disembarked the ship.

The countryside was quite beautiful, and had myriad charming towns,
Some with the most vibrant nightlife, after reddened sun went down!

Dragon’s found his mountaintop; he is flying high, right now, so far…
As I made a wish, that he could fly straight… on an amazing, falling star.

As newlyweds we moved to Houston, where the traffic was insane.
I was finishing college there, and it made the commute a royal pain.

'No pain,no gain‘ Mum reminded us wryly.
'No lemon no melon' Dad quipped adding pith to the bitter- sweet maxim.
So there we stood, Sis and I, incarcerated by our own parents and ordered to repaper the entire kitchen.
Just desserts in their view for the impromptu deed...

Saying there is a rock bottom  
Absurd to me  
One well versed being in pits 
I never felt rocks  beneath  
Hitting rock bottom

visualize what could happen.

You know full well she has a husband.
He will come home early...
