Pandita Sietesantos Poet Lyric

Where the Pomegranates Grow

Where the Pomegranates Grow

Outside the city where the pomegranates grow,
Adonis I met strolling through an orchard row.
Paradise it was being with my enamored beau,
who adorned me with wildflowers from head to toe...
just outside the city where the pomegranates grow.

Youthful and carefree, we loved unabashedly,
for the gods had blessed us so abundantly.
Unbreakable was our bond and passionately,
we promised to love each other eternally...
just outside the city where the pomegranates grow.

Outside the city where the pomegranates grow,
we’d glitter like fireflies in a mystical love tableau.
Igniting cool nights with our warm golden glow,
we were twinkling stars in love forevermore...
just outside the city where the pomegranates grow.

Karam Misra June 16, 2016 at 11:16 PM Hi, Pandita. Dropped by and read your wonderful poem. Your poem has triggered a thought about the pomegranate tree reference in The Kite Runner especially after reading about your son in Afghanistan. Also, your name is very intriguing to me as Pandita means a very scholarly woman in Hindi. I wonder if there is a link with India. Take care abpnd keep on writing regardless. ~karam~ Pandita Sietesantos June 18, 2016 at 5:29 PM Hi Karam, I am so delighted that you enjoyed this piece! My father (now deceased) passed his love of India on to me. He was a great admirer of freedom fighter Motilal Nehru and named me after his daughter Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit and the great Pandita Ramabai. One day I hope to visit Indial! Thank you my friend for encouraging me to write ! Have a wonderful weekend! Pandita

Andrea Dietrich May 22, 2016 at 8:03 PM oh, my, a song going to Afghanistan. It sounds like a worry!! Thanks for visiting my poem. Please let me know if you have a new one for me to see. I will check to see if I have seen all your current ones but I think I have already. Pandita Sietesantos May 22, 2016 at 8:19 PM Thanks, Andie. Unfortunately, I don't have any recent postings. But I am working on some and will let you know when I have a posting:-). Take care my friend and have a wonderful week ahead! Pandita

Andrea Dietrich May 20, 2016 at 8:18 PM this is VERY well written, pandita. Long time no see!!! I saw you at someone's poem and just had to come say hello Pandita Sietesantos May 22, 2016 at 7:06 PM Hi Andie, you're so sweet to visit and leave your wonderful comments which warm my heart! I have only posted here and there as I try to juggle responsibilities at work and at home. There is a lot going on with my elderly mom sick and my older son who is deploying to Afghanistan next week; so you can understand how preoccupied I have been. Every time, I try to get back in the swing of things, something crops up that needs my attention. But I'm hanging in there:-)! Hugs. Pandita
