ASOKE KUMAR MITRA



ASOKE KUMAR MITRA

LOVE FOR GRASS FLOWER  (5)

That gathering clouds of looming sky
Don’t close your door to love

Clumsy corridors of life
Knowing no boundaries
Love grows, relationship grows
The warmth
The fire
Torrents of Passion
An apprehension

Did you run in the rain
Counting raindrops
Laughing
Carrying a bouquet of red rose
Did you take a dip
In the sea water
Did you talk to the flowers

The flute plays a tune
I forgot long back
Grass flower blooms
Speaks of joyous heart…









COME CLOSE

It rains now
The rebel wind and thunder
The lonesome whistle of the train
In the spring’s mist
Under the cloudy sky

The clouds kissed the stars
Our barren hearts in sorrow
Saying goodbye, our silence
Seemed eternal
Something leaving behind

The love we had inside us
Age is just a number you said
The darkness creeps in your eyes
Turns sacred black
We wrote a song

Come close
Goodbye without shedding tears
We know all the answers
Come close
Let us watch the rain









ONE DAY

‘isn’t it thirty years?
Yes, long time!

She holds his hand
It has not lost its luster;

Without any bondage
Mirror tells him, who he is

Looks up at his forehead
‘what are these lines?’

Thirty years
Their cries and their laughter
