Photo Tale: Ways of Seeing/Loving

Ways of Seeing/Loving

By Archita Mittra

love,
a lonely enchanted garden;
i,
sunshine
shimmering on dew-kissed ivy walls.

love,
a (w)hole in the wall
opening into a parallel life,
where a woman
(who is not a witch)
lives in her own gingerbread house
in the birdsong-filled woods,
dreaming;
necklaces made by her lover
glinting
on her pale neck.

love,
whose ivy is alive with longing
all over my derelict body.

love,
a dark room
of light.

love,
i long for you
(inside my ancient prison house)
staring at love’s light
till my eyes are blind
with despair
and wanderlust.

love,
but love ain’t always red,
tonight
my love’s
a misty, dreamy blue
of                                                 e  m  p t  i  n  e  s  s  . 

love,
yet i still dream of a new-fangled dawn
rusty at the edges,
ivy shimmering in sunlight.

love,
didn’t i know, love
love,
a window promising all the magic
it itself
is a barrier to?
