Aditi Mishra Poet Free verse

Yellow Sapphire

          Onyx of darkness crumbled beneath my bed,
               I lit a bead in fiery scarlet hues on a novel white canvas
          A fire enraged in the hollows of anxieties

               Oh my precious canvas burnt in raging flames
          The bead from the canvas somersaulted in my room
               Hallucinations of muddled cobwebs entangled me

           It whirled and swooshed my fears in numbness
               My drooping desires curled into creeping snails,
           It flashed visions from black to topaz blue

              Ruby for a while then emerald oh then amethyst
           Lit the world with fireworks of hope in the moonlit sky
              The reasons to die, the desires to live, dancing chaos

               Ashes of my canvas scattered around in the morning,
My brush dipped in blood red fears-- yellow sapphire gleaming in my palm
