Amitava Chakraborty

Little brook I flow down leisurely
Passing through dales & villages gradually.
Feel I happy listening lovers’ songs in harmony
Again share I widows’ tears on funeral ceremony.
...

An indomitable soul in an infinite venture
Infuses intoxication in vein for untouched newness.
When evergreen nature beckons with abundant beauty & mystery
How strong the attraction becomes to leave from all mundane stress!
...

The scorching sun above the leaning peepal tree
Plays hide & seek through weird leaves like me beneath it.
Sudden ripples on tranquil pond by a kingfisher
As it plunges on the pray consuming skill a bit.
...

A severe blow on my vulnerable chest
Got I by an odorous elbow at the overcrowded foot board.
Snarled he with his might beyond all apology,
A sweating physique piteously mob-locked in freezing mode.
...

My eyes dazzle in a sudden flash from the trendy view mirror
As I stand by my ever companion, aged two wheeler, served me long without error.
The weird sun peeps behind the Raddison fort so dimly
When drenched I in twilight before convergence with my beloved
...

A pair of common eyes with uncommon vision,
Hope in mind to touch the untouchable sky.
Known its infinity, yet the conquering ecstasy beckons often,
Who knows the fulfillment? By motive force or an imaginative fly?
...

Sixty winters with sixty New Year each
These bare snow clad pines shake off leaves as usual.
The colourful flags tremble in chilled northern wind on a Buddhist pagoda
And throwing snow balls from flakes of Tsangu Lake by all ages, so jovial.
...

Slowly & silently hid she behind the veil of dark cloud,
Weird moon fading silvery hue, once proud.
Soft symphony of drizzling on each leaves of wild plants
Trembling in rainy breeze through old Ayodhya hills piteously pants.
...

The grey fog pulls its veil in shyness
As a dejected widow wraps in white dress.
The light winged droplets claims their permanency
Challenging chivalry & truth of the sun’s supremacy.
...

Soaking his wet beard filled in tears,
Blowing his running nose sounding fears
With a Sriniketan made napkin
Panted Tagore in deep sorrow
...

I’m unaware. The trumpeting noise of the stormy wind
From a fierce love-lost elephant or pitch dark cloud?
Gazed I, yet furious slashing on my eyelids
Indomitable endeavor to divert my vision, so proud.
...

'I am the prominent symbol of all mischieves
I scare by my dark complexion
Receiving a funny stock in return.
I feel proud eclipsing the mighty sun
...

The rising sun spreads its immature beam
Portraying a reddish delight in the eastern horizon.
Reflection on the watery surface of the Ganga
Resembles with a burning cylinder emerges since bygone.
...

Gazing at the pale face hung up in hunger
She stretched her bony hand,
Need a soothing motherly touch or much
To thy only decaying lad.
...

Ignited once thee the undistinguished lamp
To disperse ominous darkness from our narrow mind
When immersing civilization gasping with its earth sons,
How invigorated they were with thou divine kind!
...

When the scaring dark cloud overcast gradually
With sudden cessation of stormy west wind,
Why that ominous caw behind a thorny plant
Or the piteous barking near a dustbin shakes today my mind?
...

When red eyed hanging vampires start flapping wings
After the departure of weird sun in the western horizon,
How horribly I silently gain my evil power
Sharing a black owl’s fly in my night expedition!
...

How glittering the snow clad mountain is
When the last beam of the run out sun
Reflects like a parting lover impressing
On a helpless beloved’s mind with futile yarn!
...

How wonderful the falling sun is down the slopping pasture
Spreading reddish delight around this tranquil valley!
When with brightened physique & two mesmeric eyes
She holds my promising hands affectionately.
...

How my tiny heart dreams of a more tiny desire!
Rising up on the wings of an eagle to touch the sky
Or step on the land of moon one day sharing
Indomitable pace of the carrier in my imaginative fly.
