Bireswar Halder Poems

You the blessed, God’s boon, a being of beauty
Complete, holy and perfect in everything
As though sculpted out of stone
A chiseled romantic shape of yours.
...

The strong cyclone of victory swept
Across the country of a billion
And the throne is completely displaced
Singing a dirge over the ignominy
...

Look, the chair is growing every moment
Its blue blood runs in the heartless wood
Only its kins can engrave glory on this
Lesser blood can only wonder!
...

Perplexed with fear of death
Pale faces shiver and
Await their turns
No way to escape
...

A stream of gloom in tow
The sun mellows in twilight
Colours of my life are as if fading
As if circle of life has turned fully
...

I slowly uncover you at deep night
And a fragrance comes out
As of a bride
I gaze at your beauty winkless
...

Confined in a small cell
He stares into the distant sky
Through the strong iron bars, indifferently.
Life is meaningless, unbearable torture
...

Let me see the light of the earth
I'll hear the murmur of rivers, climb the moon
In your womb, I'm all alone, let this dark fade
Please, don`t kill me before I'm cradled on earth.
...

With the moon hanging in its full-lit grandeur
She appears before me in bridal finery
At last the wait is over, thrills stretch over me
This beautiful reunion, for so long I longed for.
...

In a welcome drizzle of a summer evening
Nature was showering its splendour on me
Rhythmic jingling of rains mesmerized me
Like a dancing girl with a string of bells.
...
