Earth, The Redolent Poem by Kavitha Rai

Earth, The Redolent

Rating: 5.0


To earth and to myself
Where is the analogy?
Still you told me
I am the earth
The Red, The Green, The Yellow
All wish to see the gold
By this sun
Wearing white fringe
To chase …
Rainbow
Tread upon myself
Endurance cause
Leave everything
Let off.


You have told me
I am like Earth
Evenly cut dark
By the Sun
Remaining half the light
Seen Unseen
Closed Unclosed play
Read the Geography
Stretched Map
You told
Am I the Earth?
The sun glowing
Stopped water flowing as
River Stripe
Wounded Blood sluice
Built Dam
Yearn for
Saw the Green
Pleasing build seen by the
Sun name
Intagliated (Cerography)
Guardened
Do they have sons?
Geography lesson.

Caste border, Race border
Language border, Color border
Religion border, Nations border

All the blood made to flow
Inside the wall clock
Night - Day Game
You are telling
Am I the Earth?
Right
How to learn
New lesson
New examination
Potential outcome.

Kavitha, Wow! ! ! A provokative poem. If it is all day, you don't feel fit, By fatigue and unrest you r hit; Night serves as Nature's balm, It makes you feel fresh and calm. Sans darkkness light can't be known, It is half plus half that makes One.

your poem poses a number of salient questions, Kavitha...the blood remains one and the same in every one alike...perhaps the analogy could be in that you contain everything fragrant in you as the redolent earth...good write...10
