Enigma Poem by Saroj Padhi

The enigma in your smile
stirs a whirlpool of emotions
in my turbulent heart
ravished by flash floods
unleashed from mountain top of your looks,
the crevices of my drooping mind
overflow temporarily
with a glacier of expectations,
my desire takes on a junked boat
across the muddy stream of a Mahanadi
lashed by the unpredictable monsoon of your mood;
the showers of the past repeat themselves
to bring us nearer and turn us
into prisoners of the intimate season-
like wet petals of a crumpled kind
beneath the bed of thick grass,
wherein the blades infinitely whisper
under a wind's gentle thrash;
moments of eternity jump out like hoppers
as birds say their prayers in joyful numbers.
