Alone, let's make love

Like a mentor teaching

His son to breathe.

The girl would not

Uncover her sheath.

You lost me, when

You said you had me

Going, when the last

Thing I want to be

Is annoying.

One building is bigger

Than the other in size.

The bigger the thicker

Are their faces disguised.

The chimneys allow the

Smoke to go through holes.

Every city has a place

To blow off, a whore.

A limerick, a dark comedy

Suspends the air in

Unseen algae, no peering eyes

Parked in the lobby.

We are alone,

Let’s make love.

-- Mohan

Beside the house

Listening to the heartbeat of a wagtail,

Running on the ground covered in dust and ash.

Sweating not in the summer heat, but lightly pressing

Its feet to the earth, scampering to her nest.

A crawling mongoose, with ferocity in her eyes,

Lurking creepily under the bushes, searching

For something to eat, now and then coming out

Into the sunlight, standing tall with her tail behind.

A few sheep grazing gracefully, quietly

To fill their larder. Once they go home

To feed their young ones with milk

Sweeter than nectar, nutritious and pleasing.

Every one of the old, surrendering

Their self to fight for their young.

Who sit and wait in the shadows to eat

And savor the tit-bits to grow up

And take the same care and share the same story.

-- Mohan

Chirruping bird

Chirruping bird,

Chirruping bird.

You sing with the buzzing bee.

Like, no other song I like,

You sing your melody.

Chirruping bird,

Your heart is sweet.

Your throat is made of harp-

Woven from the softest silk.

It tears darkness apart!

-- Mohan

Trepidation

 Magical and misty nights,

Drown my corpse'y bed.

Lying above the field of cotton candies,

Soft, tender and silky white.

Dreaming of blue water droplets,

Falling from the green leaves of trees

Bending over to get raped by the wind,

That pushes on and on in a ritual intercourse.

Sweet sweat flowing down the hair,

Burning eyes that are closed and wet.

On the pillow a lusty maiden

Lays her head.

Turn, kiss, love

Get lost!

-- Mohan
