ASOKE KUMAR MITRA



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...
