She read the graffiti across my world
the red
……….green
……………….blue
…………………….and yellow whirls
…..tracings of a cartoon life
illegible to desire
…………..expanded in bubble time
……where fool
……….clown
………….soldier
…..and… yes
……….poet
absorb the colours of her mind
…………..a gathering of love
……..instilling kisses on the wind
………..bargaining all
past loss
….bringing us to this conclusive
…….composition
a truce soon mended
…………..love’s dunce commissioned
left winsome
……….longing for the latest tryst
…..incipient of
….…………..erotic mirth
……..and bliss
