Your name goes here

A poem I wrote tonight:

Your name here

by Theena Kumaragurunathan 2005

Smile fleetingly and flee.
Offer me not Hope,
For Hope inflates.
No, smile fleetingly,
And then flee.

Leave mystery in your place instead:
The story of your eyes,
Told in that wordless prose of your smile,
Of love that is best won;
Or leave the sonance of your silent laugh:
With the pitch of your mirth and notes so fine,
With it a song for you and me I shall compose-
Of a muse found and a poet forever lost.

Yes.
Smile.
Flee.

Offer me not hope or love,
Not enchantment. Not inspiration.
Joy, euphoria, delight -
No! Smile fleetingly,
And then flee.

Virgin Suicide

Virgin Suicide

by Theena Kumaragurunathan 2005

Beheld by the Good Mother,
Five in all - Seeds of wonder;
Yet her Dogma lied,
When the pentad of her winter.
Started with a summer of snow,
As she built a house - And forgot her home;
Some are happy, others go for the ride.
‘Goodbye’, the youngest said, ‘I am off for my virgin suicide’.

Inspired by the movie of the same title.
