A poem for a rose

                                 By : Dr. Saroj kumar Padhi

You blush so sweetly

In the morning of my pain

When thorns of love

Prick my wet consciousness

I eagerly run to you

With  jugful of  tears

Shed in lonely nights

Anguished by your absence.

You, my love of youthful nights

My dream of tomorrows

My ecstasy, my pain

My losses, my gain

My summer, my rain

My freedom, my chain

I consecrate myself

At your sweet root

For adding a blush to your vein

Therefore I’m so

Madly in love with pain.
