When without you;

Scrolling; I kiss your display pictures

Seems it has become a ritual

Browsing through the reveries

Once you gave me that key-holder

I caress it as if an amulet

Just sipped-in something bitter

Navigating you inside somewhere

 

Can sense those flashes

Of amorousness

Arms holding me from behind

Every part of me getting unwind

Fingers flickering over curves

Whilst ardently slanting on walls

Unleashing bonded selves

Submitting in stimulating rains

 

Tried deleting our names

Back then written together; still

“You” remain as the password in asterisks

To open the soul wrecked

drowned in that pitchy dark night

That lasts for unknown time

When without you; wretched

I live on these “missing parts”
