Sonnet by Shamik Banerjee
It's autumn and my spirit is reborn Like Dahlias that bloom in orange shades; My heart is cheerful, so this lovely morn I'll take my steps towards the silent glades Where once I held my Amber's silken palm And spoke those words a lover longs to say, And sauntered by the bluebells sweet and calm Like freeborn clouds that drifted by that day. Three years have flown by since she found a place Amid the realm of God, beside His eyes; I've never missed this date since then to trace This spot of our love's tale. Love never dies; It lives for me among these silent leas And in our symbols chiseled on the trees.
Shamik Banerjee is a poet from India.
