Sheena Datta Poems

Did I reach you
I shut my eyes tight
when the rains splashed me with nostalgia
lest a memory slips
...

unmoving untold
beguiling and bold
in the depths of my meandering drifts
lie the silence of times
...

In the midst of melancholy,
when a flower blossoms,
hold it in the sheaths of sight,
for it may be mistaken as love,
...

A flower grows from a seed to an awesome blossom
wild free and fragrant
just as a thought germinates and
becomes a bouquet for all to cherish
...

How naive it is to pin one's hope
on the shadows tears and smiles
which dissolve
promises expectations trust
...

I have lived a million lives
and died a zillion deaths
my mornings have burnt me
and my nights have left me dead
...

I often lose the sense of direction,
when I wander in the lush meadows of my remembrances

the nectar breeze I inhale
...

what formed thee o Sun child
with cocooned vibrancy of the World
nestled in the dusty pallor
slithering in the frail dismissive form
...

why claim
cause if it is
it would remain
else it's all a myth
...

unwilling at times and helpless at other
I still gulp you down resignedly
the bond we share is such
I end up not just living you but being you
...
