Agniva Roychowdhury Poet Classicism

Be Where You Are

I sit by a lambent flame,

To mull over a thought;

My past haunts me,

As I look back on what I had fought.



As I look back upon my past,

I see this and that.

Somewhere I lay broken,

Somewhere flat.



When I see myself upright,

In the face of my soul,

I turn tremulous

To see myself now, lost.



I doubt lying flat again,

Since I optimize myself;

Now to mull over my future

Is the object of myself.



As I stare through life's winding streets,

I see sharp twists and bends.

I understand that life's path is sinuous,

Where our wound has hardly any mends.



As I sit by the lambent flame,

Mulling over thoughts,

My present looks at me and asks,

"Where are your present thoughts?"
