Defining You... Poem by Rajashree Mohapatra

DEFINING YOU...

She is usually forgotten
But eyebrows get raised
When with a sparkle,
Some words or some lines
Describe her tragic sentiment
With bright colours.

She is not inked adequately
Letters ultimately written with blood
Turn black, in turn to explain her
Instead the brushes dipped in
Salty drops of sweat
May successfully portray her.

She is your haunting past
That speaks the truth
When truth turmoils,
She herself begins to speak.
