IMPACT

IMPACT

You hit me hard, in the gentlest of ways.
Your vibe was warm, and begged me to stay.
I don't know how I drifted so far away,
Your embrace kept calling, still my mind lead me astray.

Infatuation had become the only type of love I knew.
I never thought I could leave such an impact on someone like you.

Wrapped up in my own emotions, I never even thought to ask you how you felt.
...And when I finally did, your response took me aback.
I was shocked, to say the least, to find out the extent to which you were changed by my presence in your life.
I am honored,
and humbled,
and realizing now my ability to impact those around me, the same way they've so effortlessly impacted me.

"I am really glad I met you" he said to me, completely unaware of how lost I might have been if I had never met him.

WanderLust

WANDERLUST

I see the stars in the sky
And their shadows falling in the sea
Moving from one place to other
Feeling the thirst gazing mother earth
Thousands before me, more will follow

Footsteps in the burning sand
I'm neither the last nor the first
Caught in a dreamy wanderlust

Seeing the hills across the path
Don't know how long it will last
Breeze cold waving my hair
Demons sleeping in their lair

The land sprinkled like gold
Bodies so young souls so old
Hearing more for knowledge you thirst
Carrying on with wanderlust
Dreams don't die, they just fade
Hoes change from purple to red
I'm neither the last nor the first
Wading through the wanderlust...

                                                  Star Gazing...

The other day...u said...So Many things...
After u Hung up...
I sat down...
gazed towards the skies...
tried to make an Idyllic You...
While Playing about with Constellations and Pulsars...


A Meteor....

A Dazzling Light upon The Ambience...
And The Unending Desire
to present it to Thine...
to End Thy Ambivalence...

There was a Star in The Sky....
The Beloved one of its.....
But...
Once it...It Wilted...shrank...and Melted...
oh...But tell Me....Does The Sky....Grieve upon its star...???

The Flower...Which The Garden Nourished....
With its life Blood...
wilted...
But Did the Garden Refuse to Bloom....
Still The Garden is the same...
Blossoms Blossoming on the Boughs...


Promises Broken...
Dreams Shattered...
All Past...
Lets Revive...
Lets Replenish...
Lets Love...
Lets Agree...
Lets Persuade...
Lets Rejuvenate...
Lets Listen to our Hearts ...All Over Again...


They Say...
Our Hearts n Mind....Are...
Two Seemingly irreconciliable Whorls...
but...
Think it Over...
Our Hearts Too Have Minds...
Would They make The Same Mistake Twice....???


There is a Subtlety
Between
LIVING n SPENDING....
Our Life...

Lets LIVE....


Moonlight’s All a Glimmer...
The Dawn Raising...
A Veil Of Hope....On The Horizon...
Wraps All Our Worries n Woes...
In  A Seemingly irretrievable Sarcophagus....


By The Bliss of quiescent tranquil hours...
Gloom Recedes...
And HOPE towards the heaven soars...
lest I Should be


THE PROVERBIAL

 TANTALUS....

Bewitched


She melts my soul with her
Saturnine Cries,
Riding a Chalice,with wings spread
Far and Wide,

The bespectacled moon falls &
Kisses her flight,
Hush!!!.....she sings..putting to rest
The somatic mind...


The shadows of lust torment now
& then,
Her licentitous rake,She spawns...
not in vain, Twilight dawns on her Divine face,
Ahhh!! the bewitching Smile,
Entwines her holy grace...


May be the heart is too small a place
to dwell upon,
She weeps a trillion tears,till the
Times provoke me to yearn ;
Lost am I , in the realms of this
Wilderness,the Somniferous Aroma
of her laconis speech,
My rapturous Delights,
My despairing shrieks,have all become
so grim;
Help me,O Lord!!!!......I am BEWITCHED!!!!!!!!!!



Ahh!! there she is flying like an
Unfettered Cherubin,
The parting of her lips,what Concealed mysteries reveal;
My Soul is held captive in her
Amaranthine locks,
I bear the Monkey’s jeers and the
Vociferous Parrot’s talk.



I know,I’m Drowning in
this enigmatic Snare,
But What miracle can this ruined heart do????
When even Angels don’t dare....
Such is the magnificence...her Beauty
Profound....that it enslaves
Me forever,
TOrtured,TEsted and Traumatised.....
My hopes of survival look dim...
Help ME....OH!!!LORD...I am Bewitched.....



Like the fatigue of an endless day...
The fibre stealthily succumbs to
Fear and fate;
Like the pride in an oblivious cognizance,
The flickering Candle-light Douses
The flames of hate....



CAndles of LOVE....CANDLES OF
Mysticism...
Cisters of UTOPIA & Cradles of Romanticism ;
There is Bloom in Good &
Pulchritude in Evil,
And Beauty runs Wild...Even in the
most Lowly Fables...



Fables of Peace and Foibles of Fools,
Her glory Unmatched.....to reinvent
The tools;
Tools of Amour & tools of Pain,
Destiny can’t be blamed as....life is
Soaked in Disdain....



A life of Delight and Dismay,
A spell of Rebirth and Decay;
Enchanted by the quiver of those
Celestial Eyelids,
..........    is lost in the Delusions of
Wrongs and Misdeeds.




And thus spake the Nocturnal Spirit,
In her egregious Gothic Obsession ;
The light in the Hut is Dimly Lit;
By the allusions of her
Infernal Aggression....


Still,Subtle streaks of Regret &
Repentance,
Obscures this Wondering Mind ;
The Shadows of faith and Belief,
Call me from far Behind...


And as the sanguine Sky Stoops to
kiss the Crimson Sea,
I sit & sing the Hymns of
the Mightiest love....
Ever Preached ;
And as the distant voices storm into
my delirium,
I crawl my way back to the
Forbidden land.....dazed &

BEWITCHED......

                                    DIVINTY PERSONIFIED....

The rings, the Celestial rings
ala, the Saturn
on her fingers
contracted bangles,
on the neck of a
Silvery swan
the anklet
the divine barrier
the chain...eternal binding this swain to her forever
infact for this fellow
disinterested in anything except her majesty
those two are the only points of
cognitive perception
in the soul less assembly of a seminar
the black point
covering the third eye of hers
the coinciding point of all the energies of the universe
she is Shakti...my Durga
The black point,covers the
volcanic crater, the suprafluous energy, the concentrated eye
if opened
would make all the heavens
submerge into itself...
Fear not...its not Destruction, but
the focalized point of the mellifluous beauty of hers.
O God, Besmirched at your wonderful artistry,
am i
In what famed ,eternal smithy
with what celestial forceps
used to make my Sweet Heart
Why is SHE so beautiful?
And why am I, a hoary-headed swain
A pale nothingness , as compared to her?
O God, how could I be suitable for her?
How could she, the thing of the Gods..An Angelic Delight...could be mine...


How Do I Love Thee.....Let Me Count the Ways....

Composed during a seminar...at the University of Burdwan, English Department..
She was just looking Divine that day...

Its Her Birthday today...
