Momentary Charm Poem by Sudipta Bhattacharyya

It was charming evening;
Gaily clad masses
Enjoying their festive mood
In a temple thronged.
I was an awkward visitor,
Not knowing what to think;
My mind got hollowed
In a mood of suffocation;
Being irritated
I resolved to return home.
For serenity is my best companion
I couldn't adjust myself
With those crowds.

Suddenly a sweet smell
Benumbed my senses;
I turned back....
My eyes were captivated
By the most beautiful lady
On this earth standing lonely.

I knew not who that Angel was!
Her eyes were beaming
With lively youth along
With her carved breasts;
My heart felt an irresistible urge
To touch her, yet my mind made
My lifted senses controlled.

Returning home
I hugged my better half
With suppressed desire.
