Basu Gautam Poems

There is heavy snowfall outside
I am with myself inside
TV is on and there is prehistory

I am pretending as if I am watching and I am not
...

I am glad I'm here
Landlocked sounded so dull
Water is everywhere

Hello, Atlantic!
...

Fears flocked inside me
a mere spectator as I watched them
made possibilities seem impossible
but as faith entered
...

I lost everything today
Some I lost and rest stolen
Once again empty handed I have become
Thanks heaven!
...

The sky is clear tonight
And, we decide to leave this bar called modernity
My friends with me
They are all squeezed in this small rented car
...

Not long ago was them seen crying
They have witnessed themselves after dying
They wonder in hell, they can see their face in a mirror
Heaven or hell, we know there are always an error
...

Last night dreams wrapped me in its woolen blanket
Flew me to where they create time
From the top of the rainbow, I heard the music that rhymed
The landscape before my eyes all sublime
...

Teary eyed clouds floating before my eyes
Do they have a message for the world?
Clouds that once wandered and danced
Have I hurt them? Tell me sky!
...

As I wait for the darkness to leave
Eagerly oh! How I look for corruption to die
And never reincarnate to interrupt my dreams
My Himalayan dreams I never can say good-bye
...

In the town so full of commercials
Landed I have so infant in my mind
All your dreams about me
When I had nothing to offer
...
