FIRST CRUSH  !

By what name should I call  you ?

You ,the gilded  manuscript of scribbles

about  my feelings of first love,

gifted to her after thousand sleepless nights’

million and one  falters

that couldn’t touch even the fringe of her mind !

You, the  scarlet  graffiti  of her name

leisurely  cut out with pain to show love

under the strokes of Time’s sharp knife

without use of any after balm

in  the heart of my chaste palm !!

You , the quick,frenzied strumming of the strings

of her guitar like body  under the crazy gaze

of  June’s  raging sun  ,unable to strike

the  correct  notes of a self- written song !!!

You, the first look of a desiring moon

on  love’s dewy lips  stretching the tendrils

of   a passionate cucumber plant in my yard

inducing  many more flowers to bloom ,

and  promising more fruits on card

when  the night insects shrieked out

to   the rhythms of her swollen bosom !!!!

What should I call you tell my dear little Chum?
