Sumann Dutta Poems

I've been spotlessly guilty;
I've swam in the sea of sin.
Heartless has been my second name;
But I've never hung my head in shame.
...

Among all the glittering golds,
The twinkle in your eyes were the best.

Among all the dazzling diamonds
...

A new year has come.
But why the past sorrows accompany it?
Sometimes I curse my sharp, clear memory,
I pray for a clouded mind.
...

I wore your words
Around my neck.
I wore your touch
On my body.
...

I have felt the pleasure in the pain,
Seen the fire burning in the rain.
I have seen darkness below the rainbow,
Felt stagnation in the flow.
...

Lets escape, lets run away
From alarms and wake up calls,
From multiplexes and shopping malls,
From traffic jams and long queues,
...

A month out of your years,
A summer out of my seasons.

Sometimes we stay very close and near,
...

I was trying hard to fall in love
To fly to the clouds and the heaven above.
Take a dip in the ocean of emotions
Sort out my feelings and underlying tensions.
...

Sometimes the minutes feels like days,
And the weeks passes in an hour.
Sometimes the chilled wind gives comfort,
And the breeze sweeps like a twister.
...

Silently the old age has caught up with me,
I remember only my past clearly.
Who are they surrounding me?
A herd, a cluster, my family?
...
