To the men in my ‘others inbox’ who ask if I want to see them nude, if I can send them nudes,

I would like you to know that my definition of nude is not the same as yours. To me, nude is dusting the layers of insecurities that has accumulated on our skin since birth. Shedding the cloud of conditioned thoughts that we have been brought up with. Standing in the rain and crying to the extent that there’s nothing but acceptance left. Walking with a head held high, acknowledging the fact that we humans are vulnerable in a million different ways and yet holding on to the hope that life is worth living for.

When you begin to understand the first syllable in my definition of what being nude means, we can sit have a conversation about what turned you Homo sapiens into the slimy worms that you are now.

Until then, with nothing but indifference,
Indhumathi

He asked for my nudes,
I gave him my poetry.

She Erased The Text,
She Was About To Sent.
All He Wanted Were
The 'Nudes'.

-

Listen dudes,
Don't ask for nudes.

-

He captures everything..
every detail he likes in my body.
The cuts all over my wrist,
stretch marks around my ass,
dark & messed tattoo around my navel,
mark of his own teeth around my punani.
I'm sure.. that's all safe in his camera's gallery.
And so I promised myself that,
all his pain & stories will remain safe in my heart.

मैंने अक्सर अमीरों को नग्न चित्र माँगते देखा है,
मैंने अक्सर गरीबों को छूटी उतरन माँगते देखा है।

If he asks for nudes,
This nudes his mentality.

Send Nudes

You don't think you're being rude.
You can't imagine being considered crude.
I know you think you're a cool dude
When you ask me to send nudes. 

You followed a well-planned protocol:
Profile-stalking, a couple texts, two missed calls,
Told me I'm beautiful, asked me out to the mall.
Why, the next natural step is to ask me to bare all. 

Because come on, you are by no means
That ignorant hick who asks for bobs and vagenes.
No, you're a gentleman who's super keen
To get into my skinny jeans. 

You just cannot believe that an uppity chick
Like me is telling you that we just don't click.
Ah! You know what will do the trick;
Sending me a couple of your dick pics. 

You bristled when I called you lewd.
When you calmed down, your ever so shrewd
Mind concluded that I must be one of those prudes
Who takes offense at being asked to send nudes. 

And so you went your merry way
To apply your game plan on another prey.
Because no matter what anyone says,
You're sure you'll succeed one of these days. 

-

Urge of sending nudes
to your loved one,
is one of the best
feelings of love.
