Inside The Eyes Of Others............ Poem by AMITAVA MAZUMDAR

We used to live inside the eyes of other
Theperfumes we spray upon us, the clothes we wear
Everyday the sunstands with us the moon walks all the night
From sunup to sundown we run and run to stay in the fight
Sometimes a touch delves into our feelings into our flesh
Spread through every corners of our libido and laze

Weused to live inside the eyes of other
The green stretch beyond the horizon goes farther
Why should we leave behind our footprints
Why should we carry the touches in our instincts
The never-ending sky above if comes down to our toes once
The ever-evading winds if get inside us and dance

We used to live inside the eyes of other
Like a volcano like a mournful glacier
The crowds we pass through with our quick steps
The funwe share with our eyes like burning cigarettes
Anything that glows in the darktempt us closer
Anything that replaces the good becomes an offer of better

We used to live inside the eyes of other
Standingin a busy plaza or waiting by the side of a river
A caged bird a pair of fatigued legs a crumpled poem
Lives inside uslike a funeral offered in solemn
When ourbacks hit the walls when we become loners

Still we used to live inside the eyes of others…………………
