In the catalogue of my heart’s library A word I scribe, magical and unitary In the garden of my emotional culinary I plant , I nurture, I prune a topiary In the bouquet of my life’s choicest flowers One adorable,I place above all the towers In the album of my sweetest memories One ‘s too dear to me than the treasuries In the atlas of maps of my mind A solo destination fruitful I find In the orchestra of my life’s tunes An enchanting melody to me allures In the fleet of ships with my decisions ‘cargo One to me is fair and free from embargo In the chandelier of my life’s surprises One thrilling to me hypnotizes In the pool of my dreams and desires One realized, lit up the bonfires In the blend of the aroma that mystifies One fragrance stands out with poise In the box of life’s tempting chocolates One trust-worthy tastes and melts with grace In the cemetery, when life ends,I am laid to rest I wish, I pray that its me first and you be next! ©Copyright Anulaxmi Nayak, 2016
