Testing boundaries,

My eyes

travel across

the length

of your body

your face

your eyes.

Then,together,

impolite,

across Mumbai

take flight.

When they return

I come to learn

When I look at me,

my eyes

are no longer

my eyes.

status-Creeped out.I woke up at 3.30am today with a sudden jolt and the memory of a dream with a suggestion of these lines on a page. Except that instead of Mumbai it was Chennai. ???

  2. @ TUIB-Okay.......this is difficult for me.......but I will attempt.
    A love poem about the hazy beginnings where infatuation and love and lust and many other things overlap.
    'my eyes,are no longer,my eyes'......when I look at myself now I will think of how you look at me.....I will look at myself through your eyes.

  3. Oh, now I see. Thank you, Dee for explaining that to me.

    I did not realise it was written about love, which is very silly of me.. I'm usually rather more perceptive than this..

    And Chennai? I wud have suspected a Mallu-Bong if you'd said Thiruvananthapuram! :D
