Affair

By Lipa Behera

Dream,

         A fainted base note

         With blooming time;

Rain,

         A letter of lover

         Inside a sealed envelope;

Flower,

         An illicit affair

         Between nectar and bees;

Memory,

          A past life

          In a locked vault;

Stars,

         The blooming flowers

          In darkness of night;

Heart,

            A prey of destiny

            Inside forest of predators;

Love,

          An illusion of peace

          In ephemeral life:
