In Blush Caribbean Blue : Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer

-
Lying on a bench in the park
I was looking for something
on the mobile,,,

The light was dark yellow
and cast long shadows
It was twilight,,,
Suddenly
She came in blush caribbean blue
Her cheerful face was shining
Like the moon
The whole earth was drenched with light
I started flying in the sky
And the sky became blue again!

[The poem is a heartfelt tribute to the exceptional talent and dedication of Prof. Ljiljana Samardžić, a renowned Serbian translator and dear friend. Her remarkable ability to translate poetry has not only bridged cultural divides but also forged a deep bond between us. With profound admiration and gratitude, I dedicate this poem to her.] - Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer  (Editor: Micropoetry Cosmos) Fatehpur, U...
