White speck box of love by Monroe Gogoi Phukan

My love blows sea-ward,

I am not the waters of a sea.

Torn shoe that sipped the dirt of fate,

And let the wind polish my mistakes!

Arch crest of a beaten Sun,

You aspire too much, he said.

Fading geranium, I am but your seed

Let me grow, let me grow.

I am but my own devil,

Trapped in a white-speck box. 

Will be ashes in the phase of time,

The gutter will open it’s mouth and I’m gone.

A mother’s heart is Earth’s clearest mirror,

Fireflies being happy with light they glow…

Fading geranium, I am but your seed,

Let me grow, let me grow.

Ode to a Poetess came into being during the lockdown. It's during the brimming rains of August when I felt the necessity that we, women need our very own platform where we can share our thoughts in literature, as is,unaltered. This is a only women portal that welcomes all format of literature, art and celebrates it's creator, the woman who's unique, who is art herself! _Monroe Gogoi Phukan Founder of Ode to a Poetess.
