Opening Eyes Poem by Binayakumar Mohanty

Opening Eyes

Rating: 5.0


As I shut
my eyes, I feel
my own carcass
in a vulturous flight
high above
in the sky
dark and frightening.

Strokes of times axes
penetrating deeper
and deeper
in to my wounds
very personal and private.

I open my eyes
see the little flower
blooming bright and beautiful
peeping out
of the shrub
bent in the storm
cut variously
with
cruelty of fate,
emitting fragrance
in the ether unlimited
let me forget
times stroke painful.

Me, come out of the cocoon
of darkness
try to keep open
the eyelids to fix the pupil
in a yogic posture.

This is a beautiful, but so expressive from your emotional heart. So delicately powerful, that rhymes wonderfully..
