(Sketch courtesy Shaleen Rakesh)

Your body waves
and nimble feet
immersing
like plunging fish
as water parts, a swish
your eyes are set on me

and like fish-hooks
for this once
I tempt folly
stuck in your stare

we kiss quietly, lips locked
and pull the water down
from the skies, falling like sheets
of music, come love me
like monsoon
fall into me

come as raindrops
I am yours.
