Seena Sreevalson

MYTH OF MEDUSA-DECONSTRUCTED

Revelations

She embraced love

And immersed into conflicts.

Sour fruits of painful love,

Summon to those desires.

Sighs are often

Interpreted

Ambiguously.

Inscriptions

Each strand of her hair

Like snakes that fume fire

Inscribes agony.

The broken wings of her mind

Still quivering with love.

The power of longing

Turns everything 

Hard stones.

Divine love that protects 

Calls conscious awareness. 

Let her memory live on forever
