Love Poem: A Sense of Betrayal

A Sense of Betrayal

I put a mere desire into your hole,

although 

it’s only a misleading impression.

My right leg is dwelling in a bowl of potpourri,

My left leg is drowned by unacceptable intimacies.

Amid the flock of birds, I 'm chasing the wind

or win.

Maybe,

under the silver lining

you catapult my eyeballs to your fading shadow.

My soul adores the reality,

whirling like a dervish,

even there’s no fallback position 

once I fall in love with you.

I'm much in love,

with a much waiting.

A pile of pale, blush to think of what

a fool I made of myself,

How your white teeth and rosy lips 

are sealed with an unbridled enthusiasm.

Please let me put a bouquet of flower

near your ear,

as the souvenir in this Indian summer.

Don’t feel a sense of betrayal

when our fingers dissolve in a subtle shade of pink.
