In this evocative poem, Soumik explores the transformative moment of emotional maturity and physical connection for DifferentTruths.com
Then one day I grew
Grew enough to realise
What love is
And my skin felt the
First touch of ease
Fingers with fingers touch,
Bosom with bosom
And the souls get the feathers
To feel the flight
