Sweet-Bitter Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

As bitter as it gets
When the flow
Flow of thoughts
Down to the heart
From the mind
Pulling the life
Making a cycle-chain
Of hot and cold
Of glow and gloomy
Of elation and woe
Of summer and winter
Of spring and autumn
Of wet and dry
Of all shades and colours
Of all flavours-
Knocking at the door.

What a hit art!
Of the heart and mind
Visually gratifying-
Thoughts provoking
Making a rapture
Fresh and vibrant.

Sensing smells and feels
In relation to social life
Listening to the beats
Beats of heart's music
Getting as sweet-bitter.
