Poems That Warn You
-by Amanita Sen

Have you ever sat gaping
at your poem open-mouthed,
wondering how it could word
unexpectedly, all that you never
let surface on your mind for the
fact that it would be overwhelming
for you to face them upright?
Have you seen the words cast
a torchlight in the darkest spot
with cobwebs of doubts, fear?
Have your words prophesied
your events long before coming
true, to your great surprise?
Warned you from falling-have they?
Have you trusted the words to know
and tell what might be right for you?
Seer words, a guardian-angel to you?
Have you fought them, disobeyed,
for the truth was hard to abide by?
I concede to none, to go the right way
but for my policing poems I try.
