Access To Hearts Poem by Bhaswat Chakraborty

It took me a little while
to understand that we were
Exchanging words and emotions
Sometimes, simple and sophisticated at others
Even with a gentle ease most of the time
But there was very little
As a conversation

What went through?
And what was floating
in the non-discernible interest?
There was hardly any electric light those days
But I could read your whole book
Clear and loud – word by word
What went through and what was floating
Those days?

What happened when nothing special
Happened to tickle our senses
What happened when we
Looked at each other
without any reference?
What happened when
Love didn’t have to arrive with table manners

The night dawned into morning
Fresh and lovely dew drops
of possibilities
the morning was open
in all directions of nobilities
the sky held up the enthusiasm
What happened in that morning?
There was something bigger than celebration
there was an access to our hearts
