Micropoems by Rajashree Mohapatra

□

Art

He paints his passions 

with colours of emotions 

he knows, 

love is nothing 

but a fine art,

and art is a part 

of our heart! 

□

Phrases

Phrases remind time, 

place and events

Despite we speak 

different languages 

Cautions us against crude misunderstandings and fight

And induces us 

to be adorable!

□

A Snare 

Thorns smile 

dead butterflies 

on carpet of grass 

all promises are-

a snare 

Meteors flash on wasteland! 

□

A Tune

condensed vapours 

pour into rain

a river plays a tune

the morning sky beams 

lives sing in rhythms.

□

Self 

when the mind is restrained 

attaines quietude

self sees the self 

satisfied by his own self 

transcends the senses!

□

In Suffocation 

My dreams hop 

throughout the night 

Wish they never stop 

Else life may strangulate

In suffocation!

□

Life

A stone wall 

silently stands 

hiding the secrets of 

a sobbing river 

In a tangled jungle

of human illusions,

life is so complicated!

□

Quicksand

Between the waves 

In an empty space 

Our forgotten memories 

Drowning in quicksand 

Inside me your existence.

□

A Hero 

All are not just 

Life may takes a turn

May include wars 

Tragedy and sorrow 

But for every enemy 

there is definitely a hero.

□

Behind The Fall of Life

A storm of revolt rises 

into the tranquil mind of sea.

Your anger soars up to 

toss vortex of love

Lives are trapped in the wreck, 

The boat of life sinks 

into the labyrinthine chasm

trailing behind the fall of life.
