Bishnupada Sethi Poems

Walking up the long beach all alone,
I heard a faint echoing voice
Of a little mermaid
From the sand dunes!
...

Wearing a light green dress,
She was sitting in my front.
Looking out through the window,
At the vast green stretches,
...

As I go down along my dream lane
Behind the rocks, trees and mountains,
Can’t see beyond the nice veil of mist,
Close my eyes awaiting something sweet.
...

If one is in love
He hears its symphony and songs,
Building the domes of castle in air
Finds things as dew and dawn pure.
...

If I were to meet you one day
And allow my heart to open,
Would ask how did you feel
Or feel at all when I thought of you.
...

Each time I pen down a poem for you
I discover a new person in me.
The old blood gets drained out
The new ones flow rapidly,
...

A tired afternoon
Gives way for the veiled evening
To cover up what is visible.
The perfect painter draws objects
...

I see you crying alone
And the tears roll down like torrents,
At the mid night, in total darkness,
As thunderbolt pierces the sky outside
...

Playing throughout the day,
We could not know when the light went away;
People returned to rest after daylong work,
But, we became more active,
...

Miles away from your world
I imagine the usual sunrise and sunset
And your rise at dawn,
Before the world rises you are on the road.
...
