shyamashri Ray Karmakar Poems

Asleep I was for long
Long in 'seven sleepers' den'
A stinging slap across my
Dream ripped me off
...

The Autumn saga
Shyamashri Ray Karmakar

The flowers stand in que, like bayonets
...

Songs that never die
Shyamashri Ray Karmakar

The old lady bends
...

I drowned
Like thousands who sought Brahma, Christ
Only to be entangled in weeds
Waiting for death, blindfolded, like you
...
