Micropoems by Dr. Gita Mohanty

May I lend

May I lend your hand,

Just for few emotional moments

For a bit of twists and turns 

And for supporting 

my dancing forms

Hope your strong hands 

would sustain with grace

My bending and swirling 

moves with elegance. 

□

Silence

It’s full of all heard, 

unheard noises in space 

From which the tranquil mind picks only one fine tune of solace, 

That’s silence

It has got its own profound voice. 

□

Firefly 

Illuminated with own light

Strived and fought with 

The given darkness 

In delight 

It didn’t blame the tyranny 

It didn’t carry the agony

It knew the art of creating destiny

Firefly, 

a name of illumination of a life tiny. 

□

Monsoon

From the eye

The heart’s unseen cry 

The marks of tears that dried 

From the vast emotion’s sky

Monsoon wipes away all the agonies

Of black clouds

Let it fall 

To it never deny. 

□

Time

It was the time, 

When she was tuning

Like a second hand of the clock,

Then like minute hand almost,

And now she is like hour hand,

Life’s rotation slowly slows down towards the end.
