The dust of lust

The dust of Lust

 

How many times

How many places

I was undressed

Ah! Shame of my eyes

Was Never expressed

 

I don’t remember

The colour of their eyes

Nor their language

But yes

My soul remained untouched

 

Soul of mine

Was not difficult to find

But there cunning eyes

Were trading my flesh

In parts that they found the best   

 

Money could only

Trap the flesh

But nobody could

Tame the soul

& I remained unknown

Dear Raj, This poem of

Dear Raj, People usually in India stare & scan the body of woman & undress her.. This poem of mine has nothing to do with flesh trading but it’s about people falling in relationships & sometime finds them self trapped... Money could only Trap the flesh But nobody could Tame the soul & I remained unknown Here Money is not cash but anything that makes a person to be in a relationship {kids or family pressure...} your Suggestions & advises are welcomed warm regards

its about woman

Dear, Thanks for your comment. I tried to write about the feeling of a Woman when she falls in different relationships... nothing to do with flesh trade.... Some shadows follow... Some shades appear & some words whisper moreove People usually in Asia stare & scan the body of woman & undress her.. Warm regards

Beautifully written

This is sad but beautifully written. Your title is good as is your diction. I thought this poem flowed very well from beginning to end. Very nice work! Faith ~I never say anything I don't mean nor do I say anything to be mean.~

A woman can understand other

A woman can understand other woman even if no words are exchanged, a mere glance dictate their life. Though I have not written the poem on call girls but sometime woman is undressed in various other ways. I don’t know what form you liked it. Thank you for your appreciations
