Icing on the Cake – Poem by Shashikant Dudhgaonkar


Icing on the Cake

By Shashikant Dudhgaonkar

I imagine you moving around

Teasing me touching me

And the moment I try to touch

Fade away gently in the surrounding air

Yes I think of you most of the times

Not all the times to be honest

There are so many chores to do

So many targets to reach

So many responsibilities to attend to

And earn my bread and eat it too

And yet I think of you

Whenever I have time

Whenever I have nothing to do

Whenever I am in the shower

Changing into clothes

Playing with my food

In between tasks and in between talks

That I sincerely don’t like to do

I see you as the cake

The icing on it

As the flaming candles that dance to the music

That plays whenever you enter my mind

And I feel calm and content

At least at that moment

Whenever I am thinking about you

Though I want more

Don’t know how much more

More and less lose their meaning

When it comes to you
