ECHOES ARE ALIVE

Indeed, the experiment achieved its target,
mutant life didn't find out the lost ship,
on the neutral tinted horizon, the leaning
Sky talked with ocean in celestial dialects !
The body, mind, edea, muscles, every
physical parts were played by you, desires
had no mercy, the ruthless mirror was.
Bear down, emotion scattered on the floor,
on that night, my scream was not converted,
into the echoes, searing pain pierced the
layers of instinct drop where self appeared,
you had no escaping path beloved, the
creation was the brain child of you, solution
later came out from your heart, the life
returned to normalcy, on the far away
the vessel of endless love searched the
anchor point to confess the mistakes, now
you could perceive the depth of miseries,
this enlightenment in your eyes pulls me -
desperately near your extracted heart, which
already liberated from the infernal world, now
my life is prepared to submit the soul with
Fidelity, on the altar of fire, water, wind !

RETURN OF PARADISE  

somewhere if you could get the shadow -

of bleeding heart, the blossom of true love,

a trail which brings towards the wholeness,

do not forget to say my acclamation, there

breathing creates the empyrean, paradise,

the light of immortality has multiform of -

divinity, just hold those precious moments 

with the heart, embrace the reality of life, the 

interspersed beauty of submission creates

a magnificent planet of renaiscence, the 

nature achieves to new evolution, aesthetic 

beauty makes the life wonderful, satisfied, 

all the ignition would calm down, civilization 

would ask for innovative colors to decorate

the humanity, the sky would be proud on that

day, most probably, it would scatter flowers!

THE DURABLE GLOW

incurable wasn't the trauma, the 

brunt inserts across the jecure, I

have been learned the standing 

after falling down, might be your

manoeuvres reversed, aimed to 

origin, it's possible, for transient

pleasure, body was utilized by the

you but, soul didn't mortgaged !

wounded conscience forgiven you,

the tenor never died, loving to 

somebody in absolute way is the

culmination of adoration, it's -

probably ridicule for you, however 

the inner profundity would accuse !

whole the chemistry of relationship

hadn't one way transit, the rain

 lashed the terrains only after the 

clouds were condensed with density,  

sharing the life needs habituation,

perhaps impendency brings hearts

towards the physical completeness! 

but touching to depth of soul is not

so easy, gold or brass, glittering was

not the main aspect,infinite glow -

differentiated the purity of our love,

-- SHANTANU SANYAL 

THE EMPIRE OF PEACE 

in modest way urged the heart for a 

favor, painful refusal questioned the 

survival, bitterness of life accepted 

the venom, humiliations fueled the 

aggression,until the eruption of all

quiescent volcanoes, silence was

dominated the amusable plateaus !

feudal attitude of society forced me 

to follow the path of feral, wild trails,

on that accursed night, I shouted for 

a fortuity, cried for a hope, raised -

hands towards the sky, diffusion of 

silence couldn't answer, the riddles

blown on the ripples of stream, the

mangled soul had no other refuge !

in that scattering point suddenly  I 

met you, loved and accepted the 

lordship of the compassionate eyes,

in the morning steps followed the  

foot print of peace,wounds had no 

more complains, I found lost life !

THE EXISTENCE OF LOVE

the depth of enlightened heart, grows

the algae of supernatural color, the 

involute image doesn't allow to hold 

the reflection by prejudicial eyes, an

exercitation is needed to defeat the 

egotism, self - conceit, all sacrarium -

were only the stone memorials, they

inhabited on the surface of barbed  

fences, divisions of emotion was the 

main aim to rule the planet for self  -

interest, wilderness de facto never 

dies, purification of perception is the

only epitome, to reshape the humanity,

after looking your affliction if I couldn't 

feel the pain, it's meant that I'm no more  

mass of flesh, bones, blood, this sense

keeps me intact, not permit to scatter,

I find my reflection on your heart, in -

your eyes the  love sustains  prolong, 

-- SHANTANU SANYAL 

THE AMARANTHINE BLOOM 

in the curtilage of life, inhabited success 

and failures, familiar faces, deformity or 

beauty, whatever the crux, it wouldn't be

correct that I will abdicate the bridge of -

emotion, here my image consists to your

heart, the truth floats on the wet feelings,

life has germinated the blest perception, 

inner desire loves you beyond the variant!

the outer layer having the time limit, it -

could be lose one day, deep rooted love

sustains in amaranthine way, with millions

blooms, leaves the aroma after dry too,

that hypnosis, never assents me for

treachery, trust grows day by day in rapid 

way, the tenderness make me real man,

steps goes forward to maturity, humanity

NO OTHER OPTION

Destiny's cycle moves on its axis

rotation of life has its own priorities,

midnight caravan didn't wait for me,

on the bank of the Galaxy, the fair of 

dreams held at the end of the night, the

merry-go-round moved in the sky,

laying on the sand of the Sahara, my 

heart experienced the realism of life,

I have read and deciphered the words 

containing romance, love, pledge of 

living imperishable way, slowly your

finger split my hand, couldn't yell, 

before daybreak, perfume faded!

in the bookshelves I had searched,

emotion had been dried before falling

down on the floor, whining sentiments

couldn't sleep the entire night, in the foggy 

dawn, a shadow blearily immersed

for a few moments, in the empty palm 

remained only, some words of promise!

oriental sky colored the ventilator again

the sun has no vacation, a bonded service

glassy ewer desires some fresh roses,

life follows the path of rising hopes,

-- SHANTANU SANYAL 

EFFULGENT ARCHWAY
effulgent, glary archway makes me 

confused, the darkness of heart is
not habitual to get your benediction,

heart wants by and by gleam of your

love, those outcast souls, deprived

life waiting for a favor, I couldn't be

selfish, come away from adjuvants -
flair doesn't loose the wet emotions!

I know, on your courtyard, blooms -

sacred flowers of affinity, synaphea

of adoration brings all near the chest,
the holy droplets spill often from your

eyes, all souls of planet patronized by
you, in the lorn dark night they sleep
in your sanctuary, hiding the future -
dream of love, peace, followed the way
for better survival, let scatter the holy

droplets on their unquenchable spirit !
--- SHANTANU SANYAL 

THE REBELLIOUS WAVES
eventually, adaptation taught to follow
the path of survival, since immemorial
era I searched the truth of immortality -

from the mysteries of ogygian period
to neoteric life, nothing is changed, all
the conundrum replicated in your eyes,

the graphic art of love has a polyhedral
beauty, entire life has needed to touch -
the depth of that ocean, placid feeling
forces me to avoid the wilderness, the
perception of akathisia makes me true

human,  the sense of metemspychosis
or rebirth, all the universal philosophies
sheltered on your chest, often I tried to
sleep on your lap of munificent emotion,
albeit in the western sky stormy clouds

challenge to navigate, I didn't furl the rig!

on the rebellious waves, silent sentiment
keeps the mind cool, later sky supports!
-- SHANTANU SANYAL

ARE YOU STILL WAITING ?
the game of seek and hide, the incessantly
chase behind  the illusion, brought me in

the land of prodigious, weird moving -
shadows, venom dipped all the arrows had
missed the direction, sheltered on the
chest, tried to obviate them, it's true, heart -
ignored all the time the pain of wounds,

the injured soul strayed here and there, mum

speechless emotion remained unanswered !
dripping blood drops reminded them my
existence, I hadn't path for scape, time filled
all the bores, skin covered the spots,

maverick clouds recaptured the grey sky, in
the end of twilight I found, waiting silence -
face, on the stairs of cathedral, your arms
are still stretched for me, since centuries life

searched your infinite love, I confounded
after looking the graceful your beauty, the
destination itself asking me for final address!
