An Unheard Cry Poem by Amitava Chakraborty

When red eyed hanging vampires start flapping wings
After the departure of weird sun in the western horizon,
How horribly I silently gain my evil power
Sharing a black owl’s fly in my night expedition!

Piercing granite walls by my willful physique
Feel I proud by surpassing a comet’s pace.
Scaring drowsy kids by affectionate mother to veteran adult
Boastful of omnipotence, phantom creature I by my invisible trace.

Remember I those vague happy moments
When ever green nature exposed her liberally
To that little blessed family in joy
With dream for adorning a secured future leisurely.

How tragic was my untimely cessation
Leaving alone a helpless spouse with cute offspring!
An infinite world without a trustful hand today
Destined they are like non creative harp with broken string.

Look! How dedicated my destitute beloved now
Rows the perilous family boat in stormy ocean.
Unutterable pain at heart with undistinguished past memories,
Determined she struggling to pay me a divine return.

Obliged darling tolerates humiliation for child’s shake
As duty loses words for the recreation of leaches boss
When ill starred phantom I cry in darkness
For inability to rescue her from dignity loss.

Break; break the inaccessible wall of this dark world
Where light of hope is blurred forever.
Why this mockery to a helpless cursed ghost
To whom all feelings of mundane sensation will come never?
