At Khajuraho Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

The frescoes, sculptures and figurines
In love and relationship,
I could not avert the gaze
From seeing,
Sometimes saw them voluptuously,
Sometimes felt ashamed of
In gazing at,
The terracotta work,
The art-pieces in stone
On the outer walls decorating
Or inside the temples
Designing artistically.

Though erotic
It connotated, denoted something
Of Indian philosophy,
Dharma, artha, kama, moksha,
Worldliness and spirituality to deliverance,
Something must be reined in,
Sex should be controlled
If one wants to attain
The heights of sadhna,
But many understand it not
The presentation,
Vatsyayna’s Kamsuttras
In decoration.
