A Poem That Just Be Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

A Poem That Just Be

Rating: 4.5


One day I wish my pen's fruit
Ripens— a poem all mute,
And silent like engraved stone,
Layers of moss where get grown;
And singing still like a lute;
A poem painted with words,
Mute still like a flight of birds,
Poem not frozen in time,
In commune, as if in mime,
And a poem rather brief,
Baring no more, a fig-leaf,
One that'd mean to me so much,
It would just be— be as such.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Mahatma Gandhi once wrote a letter, and said therein, sorry to write a longish letter, because I am hard-pressed for time. So happens more or less when we write poems. If we allow enough time to chisel out all unnecessary chunks a beautiful sculpture emerges, short and sweet. A poem may be a product of mother's heart to start with, but it ends as a child of a good-headed father. A virtual ice-berg— what you see is small, more is hidden under water.

A fantastic poem, the depth of a poem cannot be undermined.
