Binoy Barman Poems

Pieces of glass glitter on youthful waves
Scales of silvery Hilsha
Blind fishes swim helter-skelter
Kites vision sticks to opportunist politics
...

Lonely night, lonely man
A ghostly swan swims on black curls
Cold stars descending from heaven
Make love with sexy mermaids
...

I met you in Madhabpur Tea Garden
You emerged from soft green flavour
Misty air sleeps on the bed of leaves
Coloured flowers ashamed of dancing stream
...

She lives beyond this familiar sky
Beyond this familiar joy and sorrow
In some far-away galaxy, dreamy as morrow
Out of vision, whole or part
...

Desire is a mad horse
Galloping through the meadow of mind
Leaving a trail of dust behind
Burning fire in icy blood
...

How nicely the ice burns
How softly the sun melts
Look at my eyes to witness
The burnt and molten belts.
...

My death never comes to me
I do not see my death, you see
My death is not any event in my life
As I do not live to experience it
...

You do not need a certificate of an expert
For your poem to be a poem.

Throw it in the sky of your infinite eye
...

I want something to live with
Said the Intended of Mr. Kurtz
Marlow gave her something
A shadowy shelter, castle of cloud
...

You die one death but two graves claim your body
You frustrate none as you are too good
You divide yourself to fulfill their desires
Your heart goes to Emma and Florence
...
