BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: MALLIKA JOHN

Mal

union of skin and water

You slowly dip your fingers Into the still, cold Yet comforting

The blue is so dark Foggy eyes of a repentance Algae gives the water its viridescence

The light shimmers and breaks and sparkles Unlike anything of its kind Your fingers feel alive Weaves through like jewels

As you slowly move through The satiny, the smooth! How can something So simple Feel so wonderful?

In a word Bewitched

It’s wondrous To feel so strongly about something so simple The ecstasy is irrational So you try and bury

But oh, The elegance the magic the irresistibility The music that plays but you don’t hear Why does it have to be so unreachable?
