BATTLE OF BREATHS~by Saroj K Padhi

 

 

BATTLE OF BREATHS

Million frictions of various kinds relating to matters
petty, big, domestic, familial, social as well as official
unpaid school bills, chokes in toilet pipes, foul gutters
fused cutouts, forgotten marriage parties, blunt refusal;

see how tendrils of passion recoil at the thousand denials
of hectic marital life with its sickening hastes and wastes,
one French kiss a day is a dream and emptied nuptial ties
threaten to crumble into pieces thro’ partners’ silly quests;

when the other (wo)man has started looking more seductive
and children are big enough to freely pursue own interests
when chemicals are derailed on the platform of true mating
one needs to sit back awhile and think of renewing the zests;

then sensual Moon of awareness blooms in the bedroom sky
and thro’ intimate battle of breaths, ties fly to all time new high.
