Avik Datta Gupta Poems

Here I am.searching


Engulfed by the darkness of the night
...

As we tread upon life's path so long
Please remember my distant song
Never say goodbye my friend
Make sure our song never ends
...

We seek for our freedom
Which was what we thought
Unanswered questions
Utopian ideology
...

Blue eyes in the heavens
Gaze upon a seasonal leaf
That has turned the pages
From the seeds of time
...

The fires burn
And some rejoice
While some choke
And lose their voice
...

The book of my face, has nothing written on it
But has a lot to say silently
Read it with your feelings
Although eyes can see
...

I had a dream
And in my dream I dreamt of you
Dreaming about me
And as I dreamt
...

Prompter! Prompter! What is wrong with me?
The lines I mugged last night, aren't coming out…!
The stage is dark.. the spotlight's on me…
Those lost lines… are what the play's all about…
...

With every passing day


The simmering hopes and longingness
...

I shape my palm like a bowl
And hold a bit of water of love
I feel it’s coolness, I can see it quiver
I can see self reflections, as I stand by the river
...
