SEERAT GUPTA
It was year of the devil
Red horns ;
Cryptic crimson coloured clothes
With a strange hue of curious gold
Shhhhhh.
I was consumed.
A pack of cigarettes
And a bottle of Vodka.
She liked it with cranberry juice.
Her lips were soft
Softer than the clouds
Her skin felt like velvet
It was magic.
I was the same.
With a hazy mind
A hazy heart
I wanted to be her.
That night
Under the spell of intoxication
Her cold finger tips touched my burning lips
and a quiver ran through me
down to the tip of her toes.
It was comfortable and warm
Under the white sheets
And then I slept.
I slept to wake up the next morning
Wondering
Wondering if it was all an illusion
Confused about my own likes
I woke up to ambiguity and then I decided
I decided to forget it.
And I did except
Every time I find myself
In a similar state of drunkenness
I think of her and laugh
And then sigh
And there lies my sin
It was innocent
I kissed a girl and I liked it.
This is beautiful. ❤️

Wow! So beautifully expressed Seerat. The flow is so good.
“Her cold finger tips touched my burning lips”- Amazing use of oxymoron. Kudos!
