TRAFFIC OF THOUGHTS!
A poem composed by Monalisa Parida
Iced coffee
Coldest day
The fire
Only love wishes burn
In slow content.
You always loved
Fresh red roses in vases
But I took a bunch
A few white, yellow, blue and purple ones
To offer you once.
You praised the red roses
For their loveliness
But I always told you
To love all roses
For they have the same
Soft petals and fragrance
Though of different colors.
This time when I offered
Red roses on the soil
Under which you are
In deep slumber below
The limitless indigo firmament
And near kaleidoscopic sea,
The aroma of past memories
And dream of future time
Got mixed up in rose smell
And revived a strange feeling
Of detachment to life.
So love your past self
For going through so much
But never losing hope
For a better future.
The effortless appearance of yours,
Hits the suffocated traffic of thoughts,
Returning such glee on my countenance!
