Saltmate Love Poem by Indranil Bit

Oh I visit you finally;
After a long time wait.
Ten seasons of prolonged wait,
And I met you finally!

You have not changed a bit,
Since the last time we met.
Your lips bruised in sand
Glittering sand like diamond set.

Many use to come and meet,
Yet none to you are special.
Yet I am your longing visitor,
Whom you hug every time I meet.

You first kiss my nails,
And then wrap my hip,
You then notch my belly,
Finally toss me in your arms.

I can't resist myself,
I then close my eyes!
I fail to lock my jaws,
As I gasp with open mouth.

It's turning me cold,
Yet you are so hot.
I may not sound so bold,
As you add on me all salt.

I am still in your arms,
When you finally kiss my lips.
Oh! I do remember this taste;
So do my pillow on sleepless nights.

No more nostalgia now!
As I want to sweep them away,
Let you and me and none more!
When you cuddle me and sway.

Every night when the earth sleeps,
Few old pages flashes my mind.
None but a puppet duck witness me,
As I learn sleeping with open eyes.

None of mine are unknown to you,
Still you roar back when I purr!
Why not you take nostalgia out?
Cast them away, way too far!

I have tasted your bruised lips,
More salty than my tears!
I know you are crying for me,
Frantic love or overwhelmed fears!

Let the world sleep, let my duck sleep,
Let this moment stay, let others be gray,
Let your bosom be, let my brackish cheek be,
Let salt define love, briny fairy unbound Love.
