A Faded Away Dream On An Unknown Pasture Poem by Amitava Chakraborty

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.

The tender lash of chilled breeze on her silky hair
Burdened with wild flowers’ aroma & birds’ chirping
Makes us floating like dark cloud overhead
Assembling as divine witness of our mingling.

Blessed I by liberal nature, blessed by thee-Almighty
When puts she her forehead on my bosom so passionately.
Did she hear my crazy heart beats there
Expressing ecstasy with my name only?

Soft noise of falling dry leaves in the nearby wood,
Naughty look of the frisking fawn by untamed stream.
O God! Let this sensational moment be germinated
In each seeds of these tiny plants-the pioneers of our dream.

Twenty long years with twenty promising springs
Made me explore in new lands among new faces.
Sitting today alone I under this matured tree
Of one score bearing my fruitless dream through new races.

Remembering now that love yearning innocent guy
Painting on dream canvas amidst riot of colors.
How vivid was life then webbing to immortality
Dedicating sweetheart in my trusty arms with unutterable sheers.

Adieu! Washed out all hues from dream canvas in floating stream
Turning a tiny water body colorful destined to be lost soon,
Vanished away my dream like an unfortunate falling star
Vain to put mark in love history with a rare boon.

An aimless endeavor in search of my love traces
Left long back here on decaying cliffs & stems.
If I could get thou now in the lap of nature
Promised once to present me her forever the same!

Hear I today the eternal call of valley again,
A new hope with new dream sprouting in plants on new ramp.
“If change is the law of universe for creation
Can love be far behind for igniting a new auspicious lamp? ”
