Losing A Meaning Poem by Jyotishman Debnath

some days ago
I have lost a meaning
now words are strangers to me
to express the happenings
of the corn seed colored heart
rebel of thoughts inside
no they can't come out
thoughts without meaning
makes no sense


what was the taste of the apple?
that Adam had tasted
the color of the stolen flame?
the softness of the cobra
one bite and cleopatra died

what was the the taste of poison that
Mithidritus has taken?
sweet! bitter!
sweet poison
bitter poison
red heart
yet yellow....
it's like wining a battle lost
to search
the amount of redness in the wounds
after each storm


what makes it so hungry?
the heart
like the triangular face
of a dog
starved for years
some earthly desires
some premordial truths
increasing numbers of quinsling hopes

the brozen winds have quiverd the candle
and it has shut it's eyes

it doesn't make any sense
because some days ago
I have lost a meaning! ! !
