The Mistress

a poem by Rahul Nachhiketa

Not a long ago, a lady
Draped in the silvery night,
The roses of her eyes
And her lotus charm,
Sprinkled the light
All around!
Tinkling tone,
Like the temple bells,
Her cascading locks
Where the naughty night dwells.
And Lo! those eyebrows-
The perfect Arc,
Like the bow, in search of a victim Heart!
A mistress in the closet
Opened the façade, of her Face,
Thus, came out the moon,
In the smiling delight,
I drank the life,
From my mistress eyes that night!

The burning ambers
Of her velvet lips,
Made me red,
When touched my skin!
The tipsy knock, and her debauched walk,
The Night was drunk… in her thought!
In Disbelief, to forget her was I
But I was chained to the ray of her eyes!
Love makes corrupt
-the Man,
The mistress had won the Heart
And washed away the brain!
The Time didn’t move
As I was her slave of the night,
I was in the pain of Love,
I was in Love last night!!
