In the deserted street of that

Dark night, a hobo, stranger man

Sang the mourn song in pathetic

Way, the trembling breath didn’t

Allow me to sleep, tried and tried

To get the rhythm of life, which

Floated on the air through the

Flute of that unknown man, on

That misty night, the pain of

Heart I felt first time, mysterious

Lyrics said in the life, breaking from

You was not only reason to weep,

The earth rejected I could realized,

However, why the sky turned down

The appeal for a galaxy night, 
-- SHANTANU SANYAL  

THE EVERLASTING MIRAGE

Feather- bed is not forever, destiny

Somewhere related to seismic

Invisible waves, unpredicted, silently

It travels, when strikes we have

No more time to collect the scattered

Emotions, in a wink it destroys the

Palace, huts, mountains, everything,

Complicated behavior of nature,

Brings the crown in a moment on the

Earth, amid the beaker and lips

A decade long distance is hidden my

Friend, the wet eyes sometimes

Invites the storm, though the blue sky

Had no knowledge about the

Condensed clouds, but they generated

Poured with full vigor, disappeared,

Some enigma haven’t created by us

The natural knot was multi twisted

I tried to unfold from one end

Another end regained new twist, the

Concealed face laughs, emphasized

Too, changing the forehead lines was

Void, however we pleaded him

Everywhere, created fabled book

Built the shrines, written the values,

Doctrines, made the crazy followers,

But didn’t accept the defeat, we forget

To real essence of life, just ran behind

Shadows, while human is created

Human, we searched someone

Desperately in the cipher as a

Crusader of life, while it’s hidden inside

Every one, its matter of perception,
