Blue Belle Poem by PADMINI DUTTA SHARMA

When I was down and taking the hits
You joined my broken pieces bit by bits
Your warmth and smile have always lingered
Like fresh jasmines on my green courtyard…


Your silky manes and azure fall
Charms everyone big or small
Your natural inkling to come forward
For every cause tough or untoward
Has set you apart from the rest of the clan
You stand upright, tall like the gorgeous pelican.


Distance and work may have kept us apart
There are blokes on the way and many perverts
But our mental affinity has traversed all that far
Where we needn’t clarify, doubt, or surrender.


It’s in our consciousness where we reign
That is unfathomable, deep and unsurpassable
It is here that we commune with higher souls
Your blue drapes in unison with the supreme symbols!
