A Tube Rose Poem by Bharati Nayak
A Tube Rose
I was offering you
A glass of water
You asked for
The flower
I was wearing on my hair
A small tube rose
You insisted for
Only that one
I wore
Gladly you tucked it
On your shirt
And went away
Wearing my heart
On your heart
Did you know
I was going with you?
Over the years
Is the tube rose still there?
How many times
Has that scene replayed
Through the memory's window?
Every time
I see a tube-rose
Or a rose
Or any other flower
I feel overwhelmed
By the fragrance
As it is not you or me
But the love
That filled the small tube rose.
Cloyed with love the poem gives instant relief to a weary mind. A poem to remember for ever. Beauty.
A unique poem. Lovely expression. Loved this endearing poem dear poetess. Top score and to my favourite! !
It’s an elegant piece of poetry! Very simple and lucid expression with a liquid movement from opening word to last word! I would love to quote a few fascinating lines of your poem: “I see a tube-rose/Or a rose/Or any other flower/I feel overwhelmed/By the fragrance”. Thanks for sharing!
That was a great gesture, the significance of which you must have understood only later.....! It was an exchange of hearts. Each time when you think of it, I am sure, it gives you a tingling sensation all over! Lovely memory!
Awesome read Mam, Wearing my heart on your heart! beautifully personified Ma'am.... very pleasant read to enjoy!
