Best Poems Written by Neelanjana Mandal

The Heavenly Obsession

For I got to see a glimpse of you 
I worship the holy spirit everyday to keep you near
An atheist bowing down to god 
For the boon this spirit showered me with 
Are you a miracle?
Are you an hallucination?

You taste like the bittersweet chocolate
Melting in my mouth 
Yet so enticing and heavenly
You smell like the flowers of a dreamland 
Arduous to find and impossible to forget 
Remember how you grabbed my waist 
And heard me breathe?

Darling, your hopes are my faith in you 
If only Satan cursed love to turn into a sin
I'd choose to be your sinner 
Look up to you like you were the divine being
Sacrifice all of me just to reside in you 
I'd savour every bit of the love I get from you 
Are you a drug or meditation? 

Even if you are none will you please stay mine?
