Debjani Mitra Poet Sonnet

Taj Mahal

Noor* of Taj Mahal, jeweled in red stone 
 death or love, tranquil oasis alone
 rich jasper and jade hanging on its walls
 in cold melody, mourning music falls

 Mesmerizing bride in gossamer gown
 Veil reveals... the majestic palace crown.
 A medley of corsage strewn in sealed dream
 opulent facade,  beauty is the theme  

Pale blue sky in her iconic magic 
 wax melded moonlight triumphs a tragic 
 covenant of love, splendor celebrates
 passion so strong will never recreate

 Aurora of a queen in marble white
 glinting Yamuna*, her sole copyright. 




* Noor is an urdu word meaning Light
* Yamuna is the river on the banks of which Taj Mahal lies. 
Taj Mahal means Crown of the Palace
