Special Edition: Radha Chakravarty

Radha Chakravarty
Singed

wings singed by fire
moth heart still aflutter
for the flame
***

Silent stories

lingering inscriptions
on memory’s skin 
scars tell silent stories
of battles fought
resilience
survival
and wounds that healed
***

  1. The first poem seems like an invocation to Shayaris and Shayars who talk of Parwana and Shama. I like the second even more, particularly the metaphor of lingering inscriptions.

  2. Radha, " moth heart still aflutter/ for the flame", so poignantly beautiful.
    Silent stories, a wonderful expression of human resilience on all fronts. Scars and wrinkles,timekeepers of the stories of our lives.
