BISWARUP SINHA ROY

BISWARUP SINHA ROY

IN DARKNESS I CAN PLOT

Neivete 'am not

as you all think

albeit magnanimous

yet turn hostile

while 'am pulled

'neath your sole

I make out Lucifer goal

In your naked eyes

I may look vibrant

neivete 'am not

I can smell out your fang

diving deep into the hell

In darkness I can plot

IN SOOTH I KNOW

In sooth I know

I can't get you the moon

nor I can adorn your face

with blushing twilight

but on a new moon night

when you grope for a lamp

I can catch you a fire fly

a trivial but a bad time's boon

   

In sooth I know

I can't pamper your fantasy

in a lazy afternoon

bringing you a mythical shower

but when you are trapped in a monsoon torrent

I can take you to a tranquil bower

   

In sooth I know

I can't wrap you up in silver fabric

with twinkling studs abound

rather I can dye your fabric with mundane colour

that pops my eyes and astound

 In sooth I know

I can't win you a land

nor crown you with gems and jewels

that are grand

but can make you drift with my life stream

where dreams conquer over mortal scream

I can take you to a wonder land

where western sky bends to kiss

both will talk in serpent's hiss

and make love on froth soaked sand

I'll build you a cot with leaves and twigs

a place of my choice

from where eternity is just an errand

NEIVETE 'AM NOT

Neivete 'am not

as you all think

albeit magnanimous

yet turn hostile

while 'am pulled

'neath your soul

I make out Lucifer's goal

  

In your naked eyes

I may look vibrant

neivete 'am not

I can smell out your fang

diving deep into the hell

in darkness I can plot
