You play me with your words.
With murky sentiments and darker intentions
you purr seductively
in that husky, unreal voice of yours
and I feel your breath on my neck
though you’re at the far end of a late late call.
You chat for the length of a cigarette,
telling me about the trivia
that made up your day -
the noodles you ate and the colleague you hate,
while I slip into a hungry silence
held up with nods and sighs
and sounds that can’t be spelt,
till all of me is one large empty ear
waiting unabashedly for what I really,
really want you to say.
But you never do.
And I’m still listening…

Zunket…
when you write about ‘hungry silence’…I got reminded of a poem i read…by sherif
here it is:
For sensuous pleasure
When her body shivers
With joy and ecstasy
When lover have her treasure
Viola is master piece
Of quiet beast
She can devour her lover
Drain him from last drop of power
Viola you have to watch
With her green eyes
With her ivory figure
Viola is a temple
for worship
to ascend heaven ….
and if i may add….
hunger no more
.
Nice… thanks for sharing this ccuteheart
Ah.. longing..
reminds me of a bollywood number :
‘tuney jo na kaha, main woh sunta raha’
Whoa. That sounds like 0.5 summed up.
Yeah it does, kinda. But different situation actually. Nice post – 0.5! Well written.
Thank you.
Very well written Z. You do have a way with words!

Zee Zee ! You can write, after all ! whadya know
sighhh!!!! can sooo SOOO SOOO RELATE TO THE
“…till all of me is ONE LARGE EMPTY EAR [lol, an achingly real exaggeration]
waiting unabashedly for what I really,
really want you to say.
But you never do.
And I’m still listening…”
MINDBLOWINGLY captured!! – i find it so interesting, how at some level there are soooo many shared experiences. Despite the fact that we’re all basically strangers to each other here!
I read u’re poem last evening for the first time,… and the above quoted lines are still echoing in my mind,.. so i simply had to comment…. You write beautifully Zunket! 
Hey Riyaa, thanks! Sounds like you’ve experienced something similar…
hehehe – TELL ME ABOUT IT!!
– ” ….still listening…”!! 
– i think a third of us would have had a shared experience!!
