Thorns Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

Beauty of thorns
On the trails
Trails of relations
Tracks of interactions
Affection and affairs
Causing-
Bleeding and tears.

Fair fighter thorns
Thorns of prettiness
Body guards of finery
Its flowers and flora
As a survival art-
Perfect defence system
System by its creator
In circumstances
May not be effective!

Finding fitness
Health wrapped in fun
Thrills in excitement
Excitement and delight
Under the spell-
Forgetting
All tears and bears
Of multiple bleeding.

On the unseen roads
Forced either to deliver
Or refund the wealth
Wealth of treasures
The heart carries with
Thereof-
The signs come alive
And wild craft of nature
Ready for anything.

The beauty is plucked
The garden-gate is shut
Shut, perhaps for ever
For the youthful lovers
Ready to fly, so I
So high in the sky
Even, without wings.
