There's nothing louder than the silence Between your memories and me

When eyes are closed,

you are too sticky with me

Can feel your fragrance

 

Though I'm detached

The days we were together, still in touch

Behind my saffron

There are colours by you

 

There are many when eyes are opened

 But when closed,

 you are the one in my world

 

Recalling the deep moments with you,

The menstruation cramp like pain for a man

 

A day, I'm dreaming for undressing my mind Read my thoughts

Under the layer of saffron

 

There's a flesh,

Craving for yasodhara

 

Hold my hand in secret and kiss me

When no one is looking

Hide me in tranquil, deep-rooted and unspeakable intimacy

 

With you,

Having incommunicable feelings, inexplicable thirst  and never ending thoughts

Within me,

Whispering as secret or sin

 

Yasodhara,

Some kisses are given with the eyes
