Aditi Mishra Poet Free verse

Fragrant Promise

Nascent pristine hopes sprout stealthily
  from the submerged swamps of anxieties,
     parched earth frets over consequences
       to fuel naive hopes into realities of void
         burdened with the clutter of aged promises,
          fervent wind denies hope to flourish
           effervescence of faith sustains the sapling.
            I shiver at my failed encounters,
           lost desires from broken promises;
          you radiate truth with a divine Aurora 
         calming my perturbed oceans of scars,
        soothing whispers dissolving delusions.
      Your promise of a love that lasts forever
    blooms with my infant hope born yet again
  in my ancient orchard of disappointments,
perhaps hope is an everlasting promise too.
When my hallucinations overtake my existence
  you bridge my fantasies with visible world
    and fuse my bliss with your intuition.
     Unfulfilled promises, superfluous allegations
       in a world where none volunteers to be a promise.
        You erase my hazy visions of torn pages
        and color them with your dripping love.
       Two parallel waves in unison moving forth
      rising with crests and falling with troughs
    merging in the tranquility of a shore afar
  next to the ocean enchanted by seagulls
guiding my lost spirit in storms with your light.
My hopes have grown into a lush fir tree
  swaying with your glistening smiles.
    You become my universe peeking into imaginations
      of my stories, melodies, musings at nights;
        and when I return to reality you wait
         with my sublime corner by your side,
          my book of musings flourishes by your essence.
          Perhaps humans should keep their promises,
          I believe theirs too get fulfilled someday.
        I smile every time the fir tree drenches me
      dissolving the fragrance of musk-soaked love
    in raindrops and snowflakes of your promise--
  To be the love that retains the existence of
everlasting hope in this world-- your promise..
