JUST WAIT

Precision to final stroke postponed

as sculpture of life has a brittle edge,

chiselling the persona is not so easy

affair, a fear always persistent that

might be slight negligence will break

the entire statue, moulding your love

accordingly, in the heart, I failed many

times, the colour of surface doesn’t

reflects the realism of eternal depth,

the thin coating of gold whenever

washed out, the ornament looks, life-

less an object, somewhere we have

to give up the dreams to proliferate,

Space to breathe in its own way, after

that, if you wish, exchanging of body

Soul, passion, desire to be easier, life
Wants to get your love as the rains of 
Genesis when the earth is detached 
From that unexplored mystic planet,
xerosis of heart has the thirst of miles!
-- SHANTANU SANYAL 

THE TWISTED WAY

What's hidden in your heart, that's you
know, maybe artifice or fidelity,
life is full of contradictions, 
however, a trust
grows 
whenever I've seen your eyes, desires 
haven't the limitation, even that I
cannot avoid loving you, 
it's like an unfinished 
mysterious book 
reading, 
every step has a revelation, the feeling 
that you're around me increases 
the thrill, and that adventure
brings me into the deep
romance, the 
silence
of azure night fills more anxious, the pages 
of moment flutter in a way that again 
and again I read the same page, 
but couldn't understand 
the single word,
an addiction
which wraps life with deep drowsiness, 
but conscience can not sleep, this
restlessness has its own
charm, everything 
should not be 
straight 
in life, some twist is required to see the 
dreams - -

EVERY SINGLE STEP - -

There's still time, if you could walk along,

the sun of resurgence restlessly 

waiting under the stormy 

clouds, every 

single

step is notable toward the destination, 

the torch of humanity calling 

with distressed flame, 

if you could 

break 

the self circle, walk along the aggrieved 

soul, for a civilized dawn - -
