Guide Poem by Bireswar Halder

I deeply enjoy a natural beauty of the sunset 
Twilight dispersing slowly before final dip into the sea
I fade somewhere else inspite of severe noises of billows
My heart fills with a divine pleasure in meditation.

But my meditation loses its spell with her appearance as Apsara
An aroma fills the air around me and I become restless
Her uncontrolled soft long hair spread over my face
I open my eyes and I feel I am in midst of thousands of tulips.

What a pleasant mysterious atmosphere I feel alone
It seems that I am no more on earth but in the heaven
No attraction of the senses, no desire, only a celestial bliss
Finally she appears before me, one I dreamt for so long.

I gaze at her hour after hour and thank the creator
Her black sharp eye seems a deep blue sea
I fail to measure which sea is the deepest one
I forget in which should I plunge and celebrate.

Slowly she stands and holds my handsfirmly
And says, 'Can't you recognize me, my dear?
I was with you all along, I am your guide and follow me'
Yes, she is none but my guide long lost, one I forgot completely.
