Envy

Envious of the world around me

I envy the air, the sun, the moon

                                 Even the specks of dust

They can ogle at you

Touch your gentle curves

Steal a kiss or two from

                             Those ruby colored lips

How fortunate they are!

Feasting their tireless eyes upon your impeccable beauty

                           Inconspicuously

They need not worry about the consequences

Staying with you from morning till dawn

The night breeze caresses your hair, dark as the devil

The moonlight softly nudges your angelic face

Morning shine wakes you up with a  peck

The lecherous rain washes you…

                      Ravishing your delightful form

Me – a mere mortal

Has to rely on happenstance

Waiting for eons to cast a furtive glance

Cherishing those evanescent moments

Awaiting for that coveted ‘other time’

Ever fleeting from my dreamscape

                    O elusive Goddess,

Where do you dwell when you are not astir?

I want to know what’s inside you

Grant my wish

Enshroud everything else

Give this tale of ours a blissful ending
