Sankhajit Bhattacharjee Poem 14

RED AND WHITE
The first phase
was written in history, full of violence, the phase of bravery and turmoil,
led to destruction.
The second phase
was written in human heart, the phase of glory and tranquility, creative,
enlightened love and peace.
I adore the second one
as the very essence of serenity overrode
my body, senses, mind and heart.
Emperor Asoka and Rishi Aravindo
take the bouquet of fresh flowers:
made up of the scent of my conscience,
the color of my intellect, the life of my feelings,
the blood of my appearance and the material of my existence.
