Introspection Poem by Ratnakar Rout

Now a day every body tells
You are looking pale
A shadow of grief has shaken you
What is the reason of sorrow?

I introspect deeply
To unearth the seed of despair
And am to know if the unfathomable emotion
Unconsciously sown in
Has depressed me.

That paves the way for my realization
The seed germinates in tranquility
Which is either planted through
A mellifluous chord
Or by the touch of soft tender word
The intoxicating look of an
Imaginary face
Implants a seedling to
Grow with luxuriant foliage
I am imbibed helplessly
By the graceful look
And enticing fragrance
The dreams never come true
With break of the day
It fades away
Leaving a perpetual imprint
Of the lovely wild flower in me

I strive to forget
And strive to live
To restore my agility
But like the full moon
My dreams conquer me
I am in chains and crumbling miserably
My crawling never ends
But it thrills others
And they shower me with mercy.

Still I desire not to forget
My memories
As I am well on these
And searching for them
Let that search persistently continue.

For you what I am, you see in me
But for me whether I survive or die
Is absolutely immaterial.
Come what may
I wish to rear these rare feelings
And emotions till my last breath.
