ASOKE KUMAR  MITRA

A BUTTERFLY  

Each night in your loneliness

A butterfly fluttering

Fly and fly away

A warm dream gently caressing

Over the river little waves nestling

Screaming violin

Filled with sorrow and tears

Treacherous unwanted

Nights are meditating without consent

Crazy  butterfly  knows  your  pain

Moon will take you, will rock your heart

The sky will turn blue

You begged for love infinite

Boundless

Butterfly never returned

Plunged into your arteries

(C) ASOKE  KUMAR  MITRA,2018

SOMEDAY

Someday we will go

On a trip across the night

Where white lily blooms

Will sing a song of the cyclone

Two impatient hearts

Two vagabond heads

Folded in our pockets

And the sound of our voices

We are a full time dreamer

Ocean clouds only know our dreams

Voices of broken guitar and violin

Dark locks of the night

Today is Saturday, day after tomorrow

On Monday night

We are going for a poetry meet

Wordless poems,

What this night needs...

(C) ASOKE KUMAR MITRA,2018

WINGS OF DARKNESS

Wings of darkness left behind the shadow

Angry memories stalk

The flesh of winter

You did not answer

A secret river of love

In your sweat a fragrance of musk

You surrendered to the night of passion

Unburied corpses of  desire  in January cold

Your fulfillment and mine

Whispers of stars, the laughter of moon

A silent wordless answer

Endless wintry drama

Nights remember you

Our sorrows

Undressed

In the intimacy of winter

Moon is black tonight

Imprisoned between broken flowers

Memories burnt...
