A Flight Poem by Amitava Sur

A Flight

Rating: 4.9


A Flight
============

A colorful kite was I
Made out of glittering hues,
With green, blue red and white
A lovely colorful kite was I.

So loving and happy was I,
Being cared, nurtured and loved so much.
The thread of love being knotted with me,
I was flown in blue open sky.

Fluttering and roaming around
With white clouds and birds at large,
Playing hide and seek, merrily with them
Being knotted with the thread of my loved.

The pleasure and comfort we had
With the combined effort of two of us,
Both of our souls being so content
With the sublime beauty of life! !

With a sudden shake and a jerk in between
The thread I found to be torn.
I'm floating away to far distance
Getting forlorn and out of sight!

Knowing nothing about what happens around
Simply I am whisked away and driven out.
But I cannot forget you,
Cannot dream anything but you.

Where ever I am being drawn
Even I am forlorn,
I am always with you dear
As earlier as I was.

Kite is no more in sight
Love thread is wound up on wheel,
The symphony we had is broken now,
A deadly silence is all around! ! .

Amitava, another beautiful tribute to Rakhee. Totally love how you compare yourself with the kite, in love you were as free as a kite. When losing your love, being broken and falling into an utter silence. Very poignant poem, imagery is magnificent, rhythm flowing. Another masterpiece to your name. I give you a 10. Thank you.
