A House Is Not Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay
A House Is Not
Just some walls
doors windows
moonless roof
mute aloof!
Close at hand
reach not found
drifting island
melting ground!
Drawn curtain
dark grey shade
hiding pain
of un-warmed bed!
Rich in style
no substance
rings no smile
sings distance!
No goodbyes
no welcome
dim-lit eyes
echo glum!
It’s so easy
to be a family
but they forgot
what a house is not!
A building with just walls and roof does not make a home! It should be lit with the light of love, where there is no distance felt among the occupants and where there lingers the excitement of welcome and the sorrow of parting! An enjoyable read!
