Poetry

By

Tanmoy Bhattacharjee

Graveyard

The husky groan of the leaves

Are coming

A lonely mother bereaves…

She benights the fervent hopes,

And prowess of her son.

Shedding tears

Over the Lifeless white.

Pieces of red fragrance

Shrunken overtly.

With poor eyeshot

She plunges into

The other tombs.

…The last embrace

I inquire … Rain

Music is yours, Rain.

You whisper

We hear

While oneness with earth

You make prosody

Of all the lives within

While you cry

We smile

But when we cry

Where are you, Rain?

Barren lands find meaning

You propel roots and fruits

But who will wash away

The filth of mind?

Let your drops be

Enlivening
