- Some - Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

If I need
Your body
To give me
Some cosiness

Why do you
Think that I
Need some sex?

Just to be
Wrapped around
And held close
Gives me
Lot of warmth
And repose.

Don't mistake
My need for you
As my motive
To have
Sex with you.

Just to have you
Sleeping beside me
Warming up my bed
And keeping me cosy
Is all that I want from you.

For, I'm a woman
Who doesn't even
Feel anywhere near
The horniness that
Keeps brimming…
From the man in you.
