I KNOW YOU STILL LOVE ME

Inclusive serenity prevailed on the

Moonlit vale, as shattered dreams

Looking for a safe surface on the

Lap of mystic night, here I’m

Amassing the diffused glow of love,

Life has its own marked line, bunch

Of seasonal bloom, once you had

Decorated on the lips, chest, close to

Heart, do not want to be wither,

Let pass the sandy tempest, it’s not

The conclusion, I have had to unfold

Many closed chapter of emotion, is

It not possible that before night end 

You must look me just like first sight,

Let again once more time I have to 

Prove the honesty of relationship, its 

Unreasonable  that without listening

Clearance you wishes to declare the 

Prolong punishment for the life time,

Offensive survival would be a live 

Burial for me, a margin please leave

At least that I could appeal for mercy 

Killing, I know still in your eyes have 

A landscape with aromatic blossom 

A cold but severe long breath for me,

THE LIVE IN RELATION - SHANTANU SANYAL

*THE ELYSIUM 

 

Everlasting hunt carried me in

Various destinations, how to

Settle down the frantic thoughts,

As a twister passion moved from

Earth to cipher, above the mystic

Line of horizon, snooped the

Whispering of sky, near the river

Of galaxy, in the cascade of nebula,

Followed the extinct path of stars,

Hounded the full moon whole the

Night, touched the scattering

Clouds vapors above the high sea

Level, heart didn’t acquire answer,

Scroll of curiosity became thicker,

Closely watched the unfolding

Of tender leaves, opening of petals

Tried to know the conversation

Among the dew and whorl of bloom,

Confirmed the feedback from the

Bee during sucking nectar, keenly

Gazed the rainbow sinking down

Into the ocean, asked the secret of

Fragrance, tuber rose only smiled, I

Didn’t accept the defeat, further

Roamed on the desert, wished to

Know the raison d’être of cactus

Blossom in the spiny lap, the beauty

Of sand dunes, attempted to decode

The script of wind written on the

Sand,at last gazed into your reflective

Eyes, I found the Elysium of life.

*(Place of ideal happiness – Greek myth.)

THE JUVENILE CREATION

The silence of seashore signified

Somewhere is existed the wind

Depression, abruptly waves look

Wild, vicious mind-set, I afraid,

Might be execute tonight to me,

In the climax of festivity you didn’t

Look once, though I offered the

Life for you, near the grand piano

Heart was laying carelessly, fingers

Didn’t touch wounded emotion,

The chandeliers light scattered in

All the direction, your eyes were

Overlooked the darkness of my

Life, as the rain clouds passed in

The late night, arid land of esteem

Waited for a drop of compassion,

Presence in your celestial world

Was not more than an antique vase

Standing in a corner carrying desire

Of some bunch of red roses, you

Didn’t look to me by mistake, how

To explain you that breaths were

Clogged on that moment when you

Smiled, though that was not for me,

The silent love might be suicide on

That night, but a sweet sensation

Remained for entire life, one drop

Of tear seeped down, formed the

Pearl of memory, an infinite glow

Of first love, eternal juvenile poetry
