Sheena Datta Poems

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

you pushed me to the threshold of my endurance
where pain became my penance and my retribution
and as I argued by the law of averages
my eyes refused to flutter
...

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

Ever since I wore you
I remain encapsulated
Like a sheathed sword
rusting at the hinges
...

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
...

Don't hinder and disrupt the frolicking
calm and serene river in the wilds
don't try and bring method to it's madness
once restricted barricaded and maneuvered
...

O ye
the morning breeze
gather thy sails
and envelope me
...

pluck me from the garden
caress my tender sheaths
inhale my subtle fragrance
drink my pulsating grace
...
