(This is for Insignia!)
You can feel it with your tongue-
The more you feel it
The deeper it delves
Into the crevasses of your teeth
Entrenched, stuck
It becomes part
Of your molars or wisdom.
The surreptitious search
for a toothpick -
even a matchstick to ease
the discomfort -
to poke
to probe
to dig
to dislodge
to divest, finally
that fine morsel of meat
that little bit of cashew -
or ground - haven't you gone -
nuts -
with the sheer ecstasy
the purest bliss
of toying the last of the morsel
with your tongue -
and then
hiding behind your palm
relishing it -
Love, I believe, is sometimes
Like a morsel of memory in your mind!
******** Balachandran V,
Bala, thank you so much. The burger looks yummy and the verses makes me drool further.
ReplyDeleteThe last 2 lines are worth a thundering applause.
"Love, I believe, is sometimes
Like the morsel of meat in your mouth!"
So true. But did you say meat? :-| I have not tasted any meat in my life yet! Hope it tastes divine like love :-)
@Insignia: Oops, I forgot! Mr.Wisdom had told me!:) I used 'meat' just for the rhyme! Let me think, maybe i can change it...
ReplyDeleteHaha you changed!! But let me confess that the previous lines were fitting.
ReplyDeleteYou should put them back there :-)
Lessons in oral hygiene!!
ReplyDelete@Anil: if you had noticed the final lines: lesson in mental hygiene too!!
ReplyDeleteIts so like love when you put it this way..the lines of "surreptitious search" is so like teenage love..
ReplyDeleteI doubt you had him removed,and thence lost all your wisdom!.It is a well known complication!
ReplyDelete@Sujata: The lesson therein is either to get your teeth and mind capped! or carry around the pain forever. Ask Insignia ! :)
ReplyDelete@Doc: I didn't. The sentimental fool that I am, I live with my Wisdom - teeth and enlightenment! ;)
