Theme : Love
A Roadside Flower
by Kumud Biswas

I am only a roadside flower
And I blossomed in the dark
Like a drop of tear
Dropping silently from the eyes of the night.
No deity wants me as his offering
Nor do I find a place in a garland
Deeply hurt
I dry up with the morning dew.

I had sweet scent in my heart
I had a dream to be a garland
Before I die.

Even if I had to cry
After getting someone’s love
I would have cried
Such pain was far better
There is pleasure in such pain.
