Biren Mukherjee Poems

Looking at the river I suddenly remembered
You also had the curiosity to see the river
flying your aanchal of your sari
The river is the dear girl, you would stand beside the water bank
...

Maybe it is not the arbors, it's the river that stands still
with the victorious song of life;
We have been floating away in search of thee.
...

All were irony then! Jest or mockery
Flooting Spilt of water in search of inner-flying clouds
Dazzled eyes, green chlorophile, poetic pride
Unspoken poetry or the dimensions of destination?
...
