A Life Exquisite(Must Read) Poem by Susmit Panda

A life exquisite is what I ache for,

Splendid, celestial, divine to the core;

Smiles from my lips therefore let be

Grabbed away, and all lustrous jollity

From my soul be snatched; let my eyes

Be His focus to drain them to surprise;

Great sorrow let me have, or great loss

Of love and life; let despair toss

Me ever; a widow’s tear, an urchin’s plea,

A vagrant’s pain at once to my glee

Let me drink; for great sorrow sole

Shall grant great recompense to my soul.



No more of these dull, delicate whirls

of poor grief; two tears’d breed two pearls,

While for a million I ache; smile, sweeter

Yet is dull, and each drags me a meter

Away from heaven; the pulse of Life

I crave to feel, and therefore strife

Be mine; nowhere would a still smile lead me

But moving tears, to a life of divine glee!
