The depths of sinAnd your desires
Are beckoning-
Like the sunset of Juhu
The waves which lost their charm
Kisses on my feet
And asking
"Are you alive?"
The shadow
On the dirty sand
Asks “Are you feared
Of taking a boat ride”
Your last laugh
Is teasing me
Like the crabs
Peeping out from the small holes
My love
Rushed to the sea
Like a stray dog
To come out with the dying tides!
Juhu, like all shores
Like all sunsets
Nothing except waves
For me to count !
Neither you nor me
Can jump and drown
Let us walk up to there
Where the lights are on.
Where the lights are on.
*Remembering an evening walk at Juhu beach, Mumbai
