Love note by a non-believer...



The monks laughed in my direction...

Turning to look at the noises,

I could smell the wet roses...

Raindrops kissing my feet as I ran...


Up to the coffee shop,

A wet book in my hand,

I sat down to the brewing cup...

A crooked smile on my lips.


Mornings spent wrapped in the heat,

And the evenings worn off by walks,

As the night started to sneak upon me,

I would look to the moon that you look upon.


The corner lamp shone through the misty window...

Darkness enveloping me in a warm embrace,

Nightmares of unfinished business,

Cuddling amongst insomnia and nightmares...


Between love and lust lies this poet...

On thin lines...

Indifferent to taking sides,

Too curious to make a choice...

The place in the pic looks familiar. Kushalnagar maybe? An educated guess. Since the monks laugh at me as well.
