The Temptress




You want a piece of me
Maybe you want the whole being
You want to be thrilled
You want the feel
You want the insanely heady rush
The smoothness
The grating smoothness
The unimaginable softness
You want the immediate high
You want the throes of elation
The endless boundaries of desire
The polished beauty
The finespun features
The prevailing finesse
You want the ceaseless pain
The tortured anguish
The endless hope
The perpetual faith
The consummate soul
You want the enamoring spirit
You want it all...

You can't have me
You can't tame the spirit
You can't apprehend the soul
You can't crush the faith
You can't torment the hope
You can't beguile me
The infliction will deepen
The pain will revere
The broken soul will heal
The spirit will soar
The body will break
The soul will remain pure
The purposeful eyes
The driven mind
All will hold strong
In these trying times

I can understand the thrill
All the heady ways
The barbed satin beauty
And her fiery gaze
She makes you swoon
She sends you in a daze
You would croon for her
You live in her craze
All you want is her
All you need is her
The barbed satin beauty
And her fiery gaze...

This almost sounded like a scream-out-loud rock song! some real powerful expressions while holding the word usage and scant rhyme scheme in place!:)

I was immersed in the flow when two yous were trying to wriggle through the creaks. I was so gripped by your vice. Just keep writing.

P.S.Did I hear you saying planning to drop? Don't not kill it. It would almost be like a great abortion. Let it flow!

WarmSunshine said...

You know Anindita... this was a very powerful one... as someone looking straight in the eyes of the whole world, throwing a challenge right at it's face. I simply loved this, for it's bold and untamed tone, for the unbridled passion of the character of this poem.

Very good indeed!

Anonymous said...

Anindita!

Didn't know there was this great poet sleeping inside you. :D YAY!

Oh btw. I moved to different space. A different name. Just in case you were wondering. Please do grace me with your presence. There isn't much up yet.

@ Ankur

It is good to know that you are dedicating a post on it. As far as me writing about it does, I can't. I can't capture the destruction in words.. And frankly speaking, there is nothing to tell... It just hurts...

@ Mystique

Hmmmm.. Guess you found it okay. :)
