Apparently Nothing Poem by Pranab K Chakraborty

Far was a cry
Fantastic arrogance
Shows the sea
Blinking a lamp
From the sky
To push my longing
Aside

Yet midnight it was
Yet lonely I lost
My destination
Once kept as a key
Inside my heart
But cry now the
Cockpit from where
I can draw again
That lineless
Colourless
The canvas white
Never one finds
During life-time

Blinking lamp
Arrogant sea
And me alone
Perhaps binded
with one thread
And opportunity
Of loosing oneself
One gets
Thousand times
In one birth
Since different ways
Never come close
To carry any bond
Except the death itself

Far cry could guess
Perhaps eliminates
Any toss to dictate
Winning or defeat
Exactly destined
By uncertain splash
To move or not move
By choice

Yet cry is cry
Lamp shadows a lamp
And I replicates
Human by properties
Physical
Chemical
And
Mental both
Which never meets
To extract the distraction!
