A poem but Ill-fated-By Pijush Kanti Deb--India

A poem but Ill-fated

A poem,
maybe, a careful embellishment
with the illumination
of the luminous hearts,
an immortal image
drawn with the ink of nectar
borrowed from the Heaven,
painted with more than seven colors
collected from
both the rain-bow and the dream-bow
an offering from the devotees
to the earthly Gods
live and die
only in the literary world
yet, the poem is always ill-fated
to be loved and praised
only by a few
differently made hearts and tongues.
