Prayag Saikia Poems

Like a sprout
new time appears
from the cocoon of a hibernating past.
...

An ‘M' and an ‘a' makes ‘Ma'
Ma is the oasis in the desert of life
It's the most adorable phonetic structure in the world
Can at any point of time
...

I wonder
Thinking that
I was in a tiny sea
That can't be found
...

Baitoronee
The river of blood
Can one fall in love with it
The hymns born out of anguish
...

I can't get up
Please stoop and come near my lips
I wish to give you a kiss
I would like to smear a little gulal*
...

You have come
Please have a cup of tea
You are shivering so much
Perhaps it is covered in a thick blanket of fog outside
...

It's Christmas time
Ma in hospital
I bought a star
Modelled after the one
...

I had been in your body
I had been in your shadow
Said Khalil Gibran
I am the offspring of longing of life
...

My mother said to me
Speak carefully dear
Because
You are my dream
...

Suddenly a tune of a song
Wafts through my heart
It kept amidst darkness
A couple of teardrops
...
