Cigarette

The first attempt failed
The second one was successful!
It was those initial days
When one learns how to smoke a cig.

He watched me
and came straight to our table
sat opposite to me
audaciously keeping his legs on the table
and asked for a fag. 

Though a bit surprised
I lit up his.

Nomadic Love

You stepped on that hot sand
And left for the camp;
You never knew
there was a wild seed underneath...
Next season the flower bloomed.

You drank tea and took rest for a day;
You never knew
I saved your cup.
