You Are A Mystery! Poem by Saratchandra Sahoo
You Are A Mystery!
How was it that
a feeling of impotence
gripped my inner being,
the moment I looked at you
from head to toe
in the narrow untrodden dirt track
filled with prickly pears
prickling your lily-white skin
and the slope of your dimpled chin,
on your way to the river
at the far end of your hamlet
in the drizzling dark?
Fixity in movement
crept into the scene.
Is it your beauty and vivacity
or the figure of your sturdy build
or your devouring look
in your heavily-lidded eyes
that numbed my spirits
to discuss the agend
set since long?
Enlighten me
what is it that has made me
come to such a pass.
I am sure
none but you
knows the mystery.
Very nicely and aptly presented. Excellent collocation. Thanks for sharing.

Don`t ask to reveal the mystery. The beauty lies in its concealment. Once revealed, the fragrance may fade away. But Flower (element) fades but fragrance never fades! It expands and expands.....from contraction to expansion; from darkness to light. Only to feel and realise. Can it be lightened to you to make you know as inquired by you in the last but one stanza? That`s the beauty of this poem that I enjoyed a lot. Little, but powerful.
