PDA

The first time you
Slipped your hand in
My pants in the garden.
The first time we
Made it out in the bus.

The way our fingers 
Quivered and lips
Craved it all in public 
Places-

High on dirty stuff.
High on naughty things 
In really inappropriate 
Places-

The first time we 
Had that unusually 
Long kiss at a remote 
Bus stop in Pune 
At night-

The police caught us
And booked us under 
PDA and fined us a
Good 20k.

The whole thing was
Embarrassing.

But what petty thing 
Is embarassment?
What a petty amount 
Is that money?
In comparison to

The rush of fluids
Of each other's body.
A soul-satisfying 
Guilt of a feeling?

What sanity is this
World preaching?
What purity? 
And what clarity?

If the cloudy haze of
Sensuality hasn't 
Dictated you its evil
Intentions...yet.

What good is love?
And what good is life?
What good was our
Banishment from the
Garden of Eden-

If we didn't fall prey 
To the urges of our 
Primal sins?
