Understand

Understand

Who can understand thee,

better than me?

I run in your breaths,

invading tiny cages

freeing the bruises etched

in the leftovers of my heart.

I thrive in your eyes,

and get lost in their webs,

and stay entangled there,

till you blink at last.

I live in your cheeks,

which turn plump red

when my memories conquer thee

in solitude.

I cherish in your lips,

when they aren't pursed

and relish its nectar

till I run out of consciousness.

I flow in your hair,

like Ganga from Shiva's jata,

and calm your nerves

when in tandem.

I lie between your fingers,

when you feel dejected,

and realize that you have

been left alone by thy own.

I cry in your tears,

trickling down profusely,

to soothe your cheeks

and comfort you in pain.

I die in your soul,

when you start to wither,

so that thou can live

for some more moments.

Tell me dear,

who can understand thee,

better than me?

C Kumar

[Ayushi Beura]

For a time I felt like I am reading a powerful romantic sonnet. One of the best poem.
