Night has its own version
every moment I burnt for
you, darkness was so dense
shadows were invisible -
how to prove the loyalty
the fire bath made me ash
its your description my
friend, I loved to stay as
a broken mile stone
for showing the destination
just look for a moment
the origin has its own pain
planet loves only the polished
portion of gem, thats reality

speechless

exchanging the emotion is not so
easy, sympathy dominates all
the personality ,somewhere life
becomes aggressive or submissive,
circumstances decide the hidden
pain s survival, seasons forced to me
for smiling all the time, tear drops
you couldnt see, because it dried
in the depth of origin, the joker s
apperence was short timed, clappings
ended in the silent, something broken
soundless, speechless were audience.

beyond the imigination

once you removed the brush
from a child s finger, imigination
didnt die, now that kid is a
reknowed painter in Paris.
once you laughed on the bad
handwritting, do you know that
girl is a famous novelist.
planets are rotating in its axis
we can not change the destiny
today i am walking alone on
the footpath, who knows the
tomorrow, stars would be on
the crown, in place of thorn
sometimes self analysis is not
the final word my friend
the world is existed beyond
the cosmos ------

on the surface of foothill pond
you existed in the lotus bloom
emotional mist touches the tip
floating leaves keep rain drops
childish heart desires to pluck
the flower, muddy edge do not
permit, sun rised above peak
morning smiles with golden way
I stayed for sometimes near
the edge of pond, shadow reminded
time is over, try again later.

Inner darkness illuminated
whole the cosmos is srinkaged
into the depth of two dove eyes
tonight galaxies twisted the ego
I decorated the series of glow
on the edges of adoration, an
extinct river wants to submerge
the dreams of flowering valley
Tonight sky is inclined to scatter
the stars on the path of your life.

ANCIENT BRIDGE

i awaited on the ancient bridge
talked with algue, broken bricks
crackes were breathing the last
wild creepers have climbed through
the pillars to touch the sky, its
evening, said me something in
low sound, that river had once
a vast, deep aquatic life, days have
to passed, sands are remained
its different, once you had a big
moisturized eyes and i had the
imiginations to cross the oceans
how to show, waves of life
still desires to emerge the edges.
-- shantanu sanyal

do not ask my friend
how was my life after
you left over my fingers
i searched in all the faces
crowds laugh on me
i called your name
echoes missed the way
touched the raindrops
when i opened my eyes
smokes covered the mountains
dreams have been lost the way
but flowers didnt forget to bloom

-- shantanu sanyal

perception

its different perception
i looked you in the reflection
of water, first ray of sunlight
stream was stable though your
image floated over, the pure smile
scattered in the green environment
flowers were bloomed in vivid colours
fragrances filled the heart with new
freshness, as dreams began to fly
its love or butterfly -- i do not know?

THE GIFT OF ADORATION

as an octopus, relations changed

its color, camouflaged the persona,

convoluted, ersatz characters are

the part of life, how to release from

the web, thats the real question,

today your destiny touches the sky

robust wings, not so everlasting,

may be next moment, unable to fly

tried to satisfy everybody, at last

eyes were moisturised, nothing to

say in the journey of life,who and

how some one would be the best

companion, in the way, stoppages

are inevitable, changing of seasons

is thw absolute truth, nobody could

predict the mood of cloudy sky,

in th flowering valley anonymous

blossoms completed the circle

of life, dried after fragranced the

ecosystem, memories changed

and became the beautiful dreams,

in wings of butterflies, i

have written the poetries of love

may be you touched, some marks

remained on fingers, some wiped

away by the waterfalls of life,

some droplets of smile, or few

crystals of eyes, i collected, in my

possession nothing is left to give

you, my friend as the gift of adoration.

the sanctuary

the sanctuary given by you in the

torrential rainy night of monsoon,

knowingly that i am a soldier of

rival country, applied the medicine

on my multiple wounds, i had seen

the flow of benevolence in your

eyes, my hostility changed the path,

in the morning, allegation raised

by the monastery, they declared you

as traitor, i had looked a divine light

in your innocent face, you accepted

silently the venom bowl, but did not

disclose my hide out, my died ethics

woke up, i surrendered my self before

the mass, i recited-

buddham sharnam gachhami

shangam sharnam gachhami

after that i observed your image

remained in the heart forever -
