Love

a poem by Dhirendra Mishra

As we consummate ourselves
In a cloistered love
They call it concupiscence.
As we love with impunity
They find it incendiary
And blow a breeze of spite.

Let us not my darling
Utter of love
But conflate it into
A fossilized anecdote
In moments of
Blissful mastication.
