Canvass-3(Azure) -Revised- Poem by Rajkumar Mukherjee

CANVASS—3(azure) -revised

(Dedicated to Madam Marie Shine a great soul and Irish poet)


my sky is azure today

like the London sky

over the Thames

like the Calcutta sky

in the winter evening

with smog

like the Delhi sky

overcast with fog

in the early hours of the day

still the sun removes

the veil from her face



a gloom like an Albatross

hangs

over my shoulder

behind the window-grills

I feel as if a jail-bird

who will remove this guilt

from my mind

since you have left

with an unspoken word



with the rise of sun

the sky gets clear of fogs

the smog

gets clear by rains

will the guilt be

washed away with tears?

unless you forgive me

forever...
