"SHE" - Poem by Revathi Raj Iyer published in Singapore based Kitaab

She

My eyes refused to blink

Lest she might vanish

Softness of her flesh

Smooth and silky

Heaving of her chest

A quick rush of adrenalin

Blasphemy, my mind cried….

Rose bud eyes

Closed in deep thought

Luscious lips pursed

Pencil caught within

A gong, her eyes fluttered open

I lowered mine

Blasphemy, my mind cried….

She came towards me

Hips swayed, thighs bobbed

I stole a glance

Our eyes met

I shut mine tight

Baffled, shy, afraid

Blasphemy, my mind cried….

A deep breath, I inhaled

The aura of jasmine

She halted

I held my breath

The aura lingered

She was gone, I exhaled

Blasphemy, my mind cried….

“Hurry up,” girl!

Her voice beckoned

I opened my eyes

The classroom empty

On my desk

Lay a scrap of paper

Blasphemy, my mind cried….

My hands trembled

A blank white paper

I stared, confused

I turned around

There she was

A smile, a tease

Blasphemy, my mind cried…

I was at the door

Eyes downcast

“Good day madam,” I said

She embraced me tight

I quivered like a leaf

Wrenched free, ran as hell

Blasphemy my mind cried again and again…..
