MY KEEPS

 

I’ve many a keep.

Who make me pry deep,

Tease me with their looks:

They are the paged books.

They pull into them

And soon keep me mum.

 

They bare their bosoms

Like dewy blossoms; 

Well set in my lap,

Let me suck their sap

That works as poppy:

Makes me much happy.

 

Desire rich they cause

To clasp them sans pause;

Keep me out of sin

Away the world’s din;

Put me out of blight

And show the real ‘Light’.

 

–Dr. K. V. S. MURTI
