Life Afresh Poem by Bireswar Halder

The door is half open in the night,
The atmosphere is calm and quiet,
Only distant hooting horrifies me,
An unknown fear I always foresee.

I am alone lying in a cushioned bed,
Eyes are dried up - no tears to shed.
Darkness weakens with flash of light
Sudden fragrance eliminates all plights.

She enters slowly with her sanctity,
My heart starts throbbing with serenity,
No more waiting no more restlessness,
She has come to give me a life afresh.

Extends her hands with love and care
She hugs tightly with a kiss together.
I thrill a romance, with boundless joy,
Cannot speak, nor see - only a coy.

Swiftly patting me a cold wind blew,
A dream took me to a beautiful view.
She departs slowly whispering in my ear,
"Let`s go and no more sleep, oh my dear".
