SCATTERED I AM !
I want to be yours and make you mine
We are bodies intertwined into one soul
Accept this fact for all those moments
They feel like living for centuries to me
Your aroma that delights heart in toto
Slips away from my palm like rain drops
My tears obviously flow to connect you
Being crazy, I rove to find you in my alley
Scattered I am for a moment in the air
By holding your trust, I do walk ahead
My heart, a little emotional , overflows
With words splattering out of my eyes.

REVIEW
……………
The beloved being far away, the poet looks back on the past when they were together in intimacy.They are one soul in two bodies. Their temporary union in the past means a lot for the poet in that the philosophy of one soul in two bodies is deeply entrenched in his mind.His futile attempt to catch hold of the aroma of her body emphasises the impossibility of her return. His incessant tears to reach out her is like the crow resolving to dry the ocean with her beak to recover the drowed eggs of her chick.Mad due to distraction, he looks for her everywhere, and the failure makes him shed tears that send message of his grief to everybody.Her faithful nature is the only consolation even when her return is decidedly unlikely.Very brilliant poem Dr Prasanna Sir.Congratulations and regards 🙏🙏 🙏🌹
