Here’s an intense love poem by Nilakshi, in Different Truths, that catalogues her love.

 

Let me talk of love…

 

Of Fossil fragrance

Of rock-hard chest

Of ponytailed haze

Of man-bun frame

Paco guitar

And Rodin-hands.

 

Derelict muscles

Toothless grin

Aching heart

Blazing eyes

Cushiony hands

Grey-black beard

Wodehouse wit

And Saigal songs.

 

Picasso pate

Wit-rimmed specs

Baritone calls

Stingray touch

Rattlesnake moves

Mehdi ghazal

And a Pompeii heart.
