Highway To Love Poem by Soumita Sarkar

Highway To Love



My voice changed
Hair shaped in places
hidden and safe
Queerness beats
Tales of wilderness
A sense of alienation
keeps me away from people
Clothes now of my choice
People I talk are selected
Oh! Then I smelt a need
Some how it had no language
My need was silent in night
Girls that I detested
Became my sharp rival
Why I waned to outwit them?
Why I wanted to prove my might?
Why on earth I desired a close friend?
Who would share and be mine.

Open highway
No stops no blocks
That unique fella me!
Fell for a short fling
We rode with speed
over open highway
in search of a den
to play a game
A strange sport unknown
A hunter's chase
Few hormones spread far
We both were playing
A wild game of fire

Later I could see a bond
creeping through the wall
First it was named friendship
Then it took another twist
Was it the first feel of love?
Was she suffering like my soul?
Before I could feel and write
about the surging waves in heart
A blushing she smiling and narrating
a story of a game came running
out of a man's arms fluttering

My poor soul kept guessing
And missed no act in between
A wide raven exist
Game of pleasure sure
can not turn to become love
Mistaken hearts do rely
All heads have distinct
factors to measure love
