Be A Beau Poem by Prayag Saikia

Be immortal
And
At the junction of adolescence
At the age of blunders
Be cursed

Before evolution
Be the beloved of god
And at the burnt out time juncture
An insect
That jumps on to the greenery

Through boon and curse
Make the fire of life
Deeper

The time-winning chain of the time-field
A long route
That ties the past and points to the future

Be immortal through curses
A successful lover of transitory youth through boons
Be a beau even being immortal
