Suvasree Basu Poems

One last hope, let me keep,
To hold you close, once more,
One last smile on your lips,
Sing one last song for you.
...

Soundless in desperation are the voices of fury,
Absent in the carefree betrayal of friendship,
Unheeded by the frivoulous crowd,
I sit and write the story of my grief.
...

I've been writing about similar things,
Similar minds, similar faces,
Similar tastes, similar thoughts,
Similar in the way they make me feel.
...

Let the blue skies color your mind,
Let the mellow trees lift your mood,
Let the spirit of life nourish you,
Go, set your soul free.
...

A small little flame of hope still alive,
A shared joke - ah, so he still can smile,
A wisp of tenderness framing an iron heart,
Not a robot yet, still a man.
...

This night is my own, truant lover,
Nay, I don’t seek your arms,
This midnight rain, wind in my hair,
All up for grabs, all mine.
...
