When The Autumn Moon Drowns In Carnal Waves Poem by Debayudh Chatterjee

As burnt stars fill the night

I remember you like imprints of a swan's feet left on sand

Drenched in lunar ecstasy,

That you rushed in like July ebbs,

And returned with receding flows

While by the river side rests a shattered boat,

its worn-out sails

Awaits a dreamer's touch, like the gush of torrential winds

with impending motion

to transcend the silence of oars...


I anticipate, alone, grasping your morose clay

As the norms go before cremating- so dark and detached.

While the bond between living fingers and deceased dull eyes

Dream of galloping across meadows-

As seen in fantasy and observed in facts


We evolve to humanity from mere human beings

As I dispose all of her that remained

And witness how waves wash away burnt stars

And how the neon beacons on masked sails, distressed...
