CITY LIGHTS

He was a voyeurist once,
as he didn’t have a lover
those days.
With the Sun going down
in the western horizon
and darkness making
feeble attempt to envelope
the city of lights
and partially succeeding,
he visited parks, beaches
and restaurants.
He watched lovers sharing
body and mind
their sexcitement turned out
to be his sexcitement
he too dreamt of finding
a companion of the opposite sex.
He went on a hot search for
one
and finally befriended a girl
from his neighbourhood
cajoled her to accompany him
to parks, beaches and restaurants
she was more than ready
as she too was a girl
with thirst for the ultimate experience.
Thus the voyeurist in him
transformed into a ‘player’
frequented parks, beaches
and restaurants with her
holding her hand, pressing
her hand
and despised the species
called voyeurists who drooled
at them.
