Purbesh Mahapatra

I had some money then
When love was cheap and roads narrow
I lost myself one such way
As of losing I have this only to say
...

I hope I could explain you
It would have been a song
For lovers around the world
Who cared a damn for gold
...

Whose eyes are a maze with no escape
The celestial gold of water and fire
Below the titian night thrown to wind
Waters spill jackals howl for the two moons
...

In the darkness of time
A mirror shines so bright
In the calm waters of the soul
I stare myself into the foxhole
...

The times of a ghost are always sad
Whoever met a happy ghost are now dead
The fleeting moments of illusion
Take form yet not of matter
...

In the name of that girl
Mountains buried their loneliness
In dark times for a human
Tears could hide in helplessness
...

Rain clouds surged towards the eye
Like monstrous alligators in ashen skins
Sucked into a black whirlpool of thunder
With lightnings streaking the changing sky
...

In the start I see
Without seeing actually
By the middle I realize
Myself without disguise
...

My love for you overflows the shadows of imagination
In a dark bar in Siberia at dawn
Mixing whisky and vodka since the night before
...

...

A lot of life he had been with the cow
A much of view he seen with the cow
His lovely fingers been feeling the cow
The whole days he is watching the cow
...

In my life I have seen two kinds of many people
Those who have home and all other types of people

What pain and joy it brings to the heart
...

A little thing that blossoms in our hearts
Pure new and full of bliss
Like a flower till it withers away
The same flower never blooms again
...

When the golden Bharata
Was burdened in adharma
Lord Vishnu sent an arrow
From His golden bow Krishna
...

I am a great shark
Lonely but not dangerous
Just kidding as in smiling
I promise no laughing
...

One weary night in the green Cambodia
Chasing came the planes from america
Riding the wings of terror
Arrived the mad custodians
...
