My Beloved's Eyes

My beloved has eyes like deer - Mriganayanee - soft, expressive, radiating innocence. Everytime she looks at me there is a ghazal. My beloved has eyes fish-shaped - Meenakshi - long eyes, with bewitching eyelashes full of temptation, seduction. Everytime she looks at me there is a sin. My beloved has eyes that create love - Kamakshi - half-closed, with a light that leads to celestial union. Everytime she looks at me there is a prayer. My beloved has eyes that show the universe - Vishalakshi - within them, vast ocean of timeless eternity. Everytime she looks at me There is moksha.

To His Eyes

Those eyes, those eyes. Seductive bloody eyes of yours, I need a shower every time they look at me, Just to sizzle out the mental pornography And stop myself from begging, drooling on all fours Dammit, they make me follow you, sneak behind doors - An Adonis-possessed, voyeuristic zombie Trapped in their twinkling I lose the will to be free - Those eyes, those eyes. Seductive bloody eyes of yours Let me have my night's sleep you enticing bastard, And I want darkness when I close my eyes, not those Eyelashes summoning me to rank surrender. So now that you've got me absolutely mastered You can switch off that magnetism, I suppose And come and hold me closer, tighter you fucker.
