Today I saw a brilliant red flower
Crushed under the wheels of a car.
It lay afterward, sprawled on the road,
Its floral entrails hideously exposed.
...
I glanced at the moon in the sky, one dull wintry night,
It smiled at me, amid gleaming, blinding light.
I was startled. I saw the face of my beloved
Floating somewhere near a star's head.
...
I opened my shuttered window wide,
Hoping to soak up the colours outside
But to my utter dismay, I realized
That nature was not willing to oblige
...
I am a student of Loreto college, Kolkata and am currently pursuing my graduation in English Literature. I usually write free verse poems..and my poems are just my way of giving vent to my creative instincts. I do not wish to win multitudes of accolades...my poems are merely an expression of my soul.)
Reflection(A Haiku)
I glanced at you, you
At me, each mirroring the
Other's misery.
