She

By Smita Mahto

My gaze fell on her

And my deep thoughts

Are interrupted

She was holding a posture

Her body has preferred.

Her curves bathing

In sunshine

And she smells of

Roses dipped in dew.

The more I look at her

My feelings

Become eloquent

And I try to personify her beauty

In the poems, I write.

But,

Who are we to declare

How does she look?

Or who are we to criticize

The curves she has got.

Why do we forget,

Her curves hold a life

And the struggle to

Bring it alive.
