A Birthday SoliloquyA Poem by Raj SahuThe poet talks about his lover on the occasion of the latter's birthday in this loving soliloquy.It's again a joyous day, October Thirty-First; You descended eighteen summers ago on this Earth, To bless its feet with your feet, To quench the prolong thirst Of Someone, whose life is full of the dearth Of love and merriness, which would meet Surely to the doom unless your birth safeguarded it. That 'Someone' would burst With delight and love if your love's heat Will ignite his heart and make it a peat, Which would burn for the sake of the worst, Who keeps a little or no worth. I confess before you that I am 'Mr. Someone' And would drink hemlock if it tasted like you And crown you the 'Conqueror' of my heart And beg you not to depart From my melancholy life as after 'Who' Would be my life other than you? None! You are the beauty of a delightful day, But also the pain of a forlorn night. Listen what the verses of Kierkegaard say: "Life can only be understood backwards; But it must be lived forwards" And me, following this with all my might. I create new memories to drop the old ones, But you still find room in every new memory. The clear stream of thought that runs Make me sleep in the deepest reverie And I imagine there that a human heart- Cost in millions- I gave it to you for free. So never, never and ever; O! You depart But pour your love to bloom this withered tree. O, what sufferings have I to bear In inferno for not accepting you my paradise? I don't keep this thought so near, As this mere poet is not so wise! © 2018 Raj SahuAuthor's Note
