Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Free verse

Museum of Memory

The ebon hair untamed 
Some swirled in the stream of squall 
Some weaved enigmatic lattice on the forehead 
Locking the charisma of the evanescent mind 
Lest it flew away from the face in the wind
I kept it framed in the museum of memory. 

The almond eyes unclosed 
Eyelids danced to the music of butterfly flutter
Eyelashes aligned with starry strings of the satin sky 
Holding the dulcet facade of dream-soaked charm 
Lest it floated away from the face in the wind
I kept it framed in the museum of memory. 

The flower of luscious lips unfurled 
Donned the lilac patina of the sunburst dawn 
Dew drops glittered on petals with sparkling allure 
Engraving the contours of the mystique smile 
Lest it drifted away from the face in the wind
I kept it framed in the museum of memory. 

The crimson cheeks unveiled 
Spread jasmine scent on seductive zephyr 
Caressing the face suffused with aurora glow 
Painted the transfixed portrait of ethereal grace 
Lest beauty fades away from the face in the wind
I kept it framed in the museum of memory.
