The Eager Traveler
by Ahmad Faraz
loose translation by Michael R. Burch
Even in the torture chamber, I was the lucky one;

And even the mightiest rivers found accessible refuge in me;

Epitome of Sensuality
by Jayesh Goyal
Her luminous rays melt me into a contented ecstasy, and fill my vision with pulsating light as I whisper, "Not as vivacious as you, sunshine"
Beauty wrapped in the six yards of chiffon, draped over teasing gold, resting in the lingering incline, uttering mysteries through her cacophonous eyes, with the answer beyond the clad, my breath is taken away in response to the marvel of such a canvas
I have seen eyes that paint a picture in my mind, held me captive, led me blind and they have no clue the spell they hold as seconds unfold - it’s as if thoughts could explode in a theme of desire
The forehead's red bindi, splashing colour in my mind, energizing the Lord Krishna in me to play the flute of passions resonating with her silent whispers
Her coloured hair, hiding her ear-ringed softness, dangling with a desire to caress her delicate shoulders
The nape of her neck - concave, erotic, exotic, fragrant - whispers, quietly sings a sensual melody of flaming dreams
I’ll admit of predisposed feelings and palates swamping my mind - desires now expressed in two tones that contrast - doubt found in fabric’s clutch while the skin, kissed by light of summer’s flame, consents much more of her longings and fabric cooperate the silhouettes split between the two - challenging worship in the thoughts to the virtuous or the lascivious
The shapes below textile’s span echo panoramas - neckline hinting nothing more than potential held within, as the curves speak to desires now suppressed
Sensual beauty, as my fingers traced with exquisite poetic strokes of the keyboard, creating of her - a sonnet of longing, for me to read over and over
To live and breathe ecstasy…To feel its power of desire and excitement and fire!

I wanna do bad things with you
by Jayesh Goyal
Her eyes were always tempting, speaking drunken lusts swooning intoxication - scented skin, her poison ivy patchouli
As I grab her hair and kiss her lips, putting my tongue into use
As I travelled from neck, down to her pierced belly button - onto her toes
Calloused fingertips trace the silhouettes of smooth, contrasting thighs
They navigate her rounded hips with unexplainable fascination
Start licking my way back up her thigh, reaching the treasure that waits to be ravished
She moans in the breeze; she begins to get wild
As my tongue darts in and out - moans and screams of ecstasy resonate with my infatuations - sparkling wine suckles, savor tongue glides
I tasted all her innocence, without a spoken word
She holds my head tight, telling not to stop as I slurp her femininity excitedly

Orgasmic Outburst
by Bhaskaranand Jha Bhaskar
On a night’s blue bed spread
For their sensuous odyssey…
The hearts throb in their minds
Pregnant with their lusty fantasy…
A cock and a cunt all together
In an intoxicating act of ecstasy...
Bodice slid off her milky body

In de stroom van mijn verlangen
by Mario Odekerken
Er zijn geen oevers meer.
Alle grenzen zijn opgelost
in wat niet gezegd kon worden
maar toch tussen ons hing
als damp boven een rivier.
In de stroom van mijn verlangen
drijf jij samen met mij
op het wilde water
naar gevoelens

Over Again
by Siti Nur Shahirah Azmer
If you want to have all of me
You can kiss me over again
In every moment that you desire
Feelings
by Mario Odekerken
Love arrives
not as a whisper,
but as a resonance-
subtle yet thunderous,
a symphony beneath the surface
of ordinary moments.
It weaves itself
into the quiet architecture of thought,
gathers in the folds

De lust van de liefde
by Mario Odekerken
Lichaam zoekt lichaam
in stilte die niets hoeft te zeggen.
Ogen spreken in vlammen,
vingers lezen de huid als een boek
zonder einde.
Tijd vervaagt,
alleen het nu bestaat,
een ademhaling,
een zucht die alles opent.

The lust of love
by Mario Odekerken
Body seeks body
in a silence that needs no words.
Eyes speak in flames,
fingers read the skin like a book with no end.
Time fades,
only the now exists,
a breath,
a sigh that opens everything.
