The World Of Ecstasy Poem by Dipankar Sadhukhan

Now I am in the desert of life.
I am thirsty, thirsty to drink love
And you have appeared before me
Like a mirage, just like an illusion.

I am running and running behind you
To reach you to quench my thirst
But you cheat me like a disguised girl.
Why are you so illusive and unkind?

Do you know - I don't dare to sleep
At noon or in the afternoon?
I know so well you appear in my sleep
Just as a nightmare, a horrible monster.

Sometimes when I sit on my couch alone
You appear as a reverie and I come back
To my haunting past days
Which I do not want to remember.

I like to work; I love to wake every hour;
I love to create something new;
I love to soar on the wings of poesy
As it gives me intense joy and pleasure.

I don't want to sleep even at night
As sleep is the another name of death
Though it nourishes our life
And fills us with energy to live.

You can no longer trap me
As I am fully aware of you.
I have created a new world
Which is full of lovely dream.

I will live within my world,
The world of imagination,
The world of creativity,
The world filled with ecstasy.
