Seema Aarella Poems

Just when I vaguely thought
Our journey was over,
You casually walked all over
The droning tiles of my heart
...

Only a cynic can dismiss
This phenomenon as a
Rather mundane affair,
The ongoing alchemy of love,
...

This body like a rose
Been a cosset of spring
Then a beautiful thing,
But the winter left me rot,
...

As if my old memories are bundled up
And delivered to me in instalments
while I try to engross my mind in the
Temptingly pleasant 4 o' clock rain.
...

It tickled me out
Of my ageless somber mood
And disturbed my composed seclusion,
...

The music of silence still throbs inside
But Love no more belongs to my heart
World is still bright with a lasting radiance
Light no more belongs to my sight
...

He opens his eyes,
Sleep disturbed,
Her compounding thoughts
Strike a painful chord,
...

Later, the day transformed
Into barren core of
A pillaged bloom,
Its luminous petals
...

One ugly scare crow
Shooed off the gathering dreams
A scary nightmare
...

I am’… a molecular maze
A passionless existence
Insensitive to birth and death
An insignificant outcome
...
