Poems By Arjava

HOW this atomic self

Could comprehend

Seamless and singing wealth

The high stars lend ?

Phantasmal guardians yield

What sworded flame,

That mortal feet to field

Of Eden came ?

Night fell : on far lagoon

Silverly wan

Rays from a limpid moon

Shafted and shone.

Dim waves to flank of sand

Dream their caress ;

No self-will scars the land

Of tenderness.
