When doors of delight close
Love knocks the door
I left my coffee of insight
Panting and puffing
Opening the door
Love came saying hello
I was in a nowhere state
My flurries of expression
Sombre seeing stranger
Like him
He says I am love
I denied him as a cupid
He sealed my lips with his tears
I recite my principles inside
He cups his hands in my cheeks
I said him as this is taboo
I said love, you are purge beyond system
I am a blood of meek religion
I puffed my cheeks in red oozing blood
And pursed his love outside the door
A daughter who was there? Dad roared in
I said dad it was a vapor of love
Which iced here on this floor
