Linen

Can I just,
Take a look,
At the back 
Of the linen
I sew
And the pockets i made 
Nd the memories new
With some frnds nd some lies 
Nd some things that i knew 
Intended things that i did...
With the patterns of dew
With some beautiful color
Nd the lines and the curves
Some pigmented smile 
Nd little showed the truth
The fragments were shred 
Nd the threads being shed
Nd then i drowned it in water
Nd stitched what was left
No opens no closure no itsy bitsy threads.
.no shreds no pieces no drops are left ....
Its cosmic ..divine...it's out of the world...
Sewing with love this magic of words
I took every piece nd took every shred....
Created a very beautiful spread...
I matched it with linen ..Nd added it in .....
Casements are oozing... brighteness nd light ...
Of that power that just came to lifee..
Nd is it me 
.It is me ..what is quite pretty fine ...
Nd then i wore that linen
Nd it let me be me ..
What i wanted to be ...

This is a metaphoric poem. Linen here means life...it shows how i take a look back at life at what i did(sew)nd the pockets ( the place i gave) frnds in my heart nd memories nd lies people nd i told nd some intentionally done things nd ...i made my life colorful nd sad(dew) lines means good days nd curves bad days. Then i talk about the smile that's not pure sometimes and sometimes it showed truth. And further i talk about the breakdown (fragments) nd tears(threads).

And how i gather myself nd accept the pain gracefully nd then casement(eyes) my eyes shined as i took all the pain nd tears nd ...moved further in life ....as one cannot be normal without letting go all the pain nd the way one can let go pain is by accepting it . Thank you, Arpita
