Solace Poem by Uttam Biswas

The sun is burning
From time immemorial,
Like the sun
I am burning too.

Why this burning?
Why this pain?
I have no clue.

The earth smiles
When the sun smiles
Peeping behind the cloud,
Like the earth
My soul smiles too
When I see you smile
From a distance.

May be -
You are the reason
Of my incessant burning,
May be -
You are the reason
Of my incessant pain,
For when I see you
My heart feels freezing
Like pouring cold water
On red hot iron rod.
