Time Eternity Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

The stinks of your
Sweat -
And the smells
Of your body...
May be
Repulsive
To you.

But to me,
They say:
If you love me
In my youth
And beauty,
Would you
Love me…
When I’m
Old and ugly?

And I imagine
Your
Toothless grin,
Stooped posture,
Greying hairs…
Shrunken organ.
And I don’t know
How to doubt
Love…

For me, you’ll be
The same.
The man whom I
Loved -
Beyond love…
Beyond looks,
Beyond life…
Beyond death.

The man
Who mesmerisingly
Made me ~
A woman in love
Till time eternity…
