The only guy crush I seem to have sustained for almost a decade now is Vikram Seth. the clarity with which his poetry speaks is encapsulating and warmingly innervating , for me Seth is a must read, re- read and yea that degree of adoration!
I have never met him in person , never have had the good fortune to be present in any book discussion or reading, hey but look what I have got here, one of Vikram's lecture

(Inspired by) Phantom of Opera
Remember your promise to me
beloved don't you, quit on me.
my soul's nightingale,
don't sing, your heavenly chants,
put me to sleep, wear your wings,
leave me in slumbers deep.
my window to the colors of a day,
don't leave now, me in this disarray,
kill me if you wish, with your song,
with your love's blade,
you know you can,
because,with you my heart lays a slave.
