SPARKLING COMETS!
A poem composed by Monalisa Parida
Give me wings
I can fly as high as possible
To touch the firmament, the Moon and the stars
And bring for you sparkling comets.
Hold me in your arms
Whenever I am weak
And I need to feel your touch.
Solemnize me with your Sagittarius bow and arrow
So that my heart is pierced through its chambers,
By graffiti in the celestial dome.
Laud me in your mind
So I will never be forgotten,
That my memory will touch over your lips.
And like a snowflake
You melt on tip of my tongue.
