My Soul's Pleasure

By Archana Ramachandran

This word itself is a poem

Keats said ” The thing of beauty is joy forever ”

Do you know the meaning of beauty ?

Hah !

You know not ?

Lemme say ” It is poetry ”

The soul’s pleasure

The pain-killer

The Eternal lover

With Whom shall I compare thee ?

The best opium

God of happiness

Shelley’s companion

Lovers’ odes

Raphael’s Madonna

Mozart’s tunes

Keats’s Urn

Thy art beautiful beauty

How blessed you are !

The great Shakespeare had praised

You

For 154 times .

I am jealous of you ,

Indeed !

If I were you , I too would meet the great Milton , Byron and Spencer …….
