All In Sixes & Sevens

All In Sixes & Sevens

Poem by Kuhelika Saha

The nocturnal sky only, holds my appetite, 
even I “hum” to the songs of ecstasy
but my shrug to its buoyancy
forges me in ‘sixes and sevens!’

A melancholic portrait now enlightens me,
Yesterday I laughed, but cautiously
their sulk to my trust
needled me into ‘sixes and sevens!’

I just talk to my black and blue walls, 
the epitome of disguised reality tempted me
but today, their terrified woof  
drained me into ‘sixes and sevens!’

I’m the Voyager of a vulgar heart, 
the podcasts of: to love and embrace, 
I doubt, the pioneer of these 
is also in sixes and sevens!

Kuhelika loves her studies and kathak dancing. She enjoys public speaking and writing poems. It’s her favorite hobby! You can find her sitting on the balcony and writing in the evening or under the blanket at night.
