Diwali Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

They saw and heard
The sparklers
Burning bright.

They saw and heard
The rockets
Zipping past the night.

They saw and heard
The fountains going
Whoosh!

They saw and heard
The various aerial
Displays that lit up
The night sky with
Their colourful arrays.

And you ask me, dear
What all fireworks
I saw and heard? !

I was so entranced seeing
You making love to me
With your eyes,
Telling me in what all ways,
You love me,
How often you miss me…
All the colours of Diwali
Sparkled before my eyes!
I just saw and heard - you,
You and only you, your love
For me…making my Diwali!
