Bhaswat Chakraborty Poems

Of all human manifestations
May I say, you are the greatest
As you give milk, food and protection
What to say of love, peace and rest!
...

One.

I am a little petal of hue and smell
I am gorgeous you can tell
...

The war stopped, the great one
About seventy years ago
All said and done
There is now peace – peace aglow
...

The passage from cradle to grave
A voyage of sheer consciousness
Some make it with laugh and fun
Some make it a total mess
...

It burns in the stars
To make the universe possible
It burns in the stars
To have the heavens going
...

Oh, ho! Oh ho, here you are
My friend, my friend from far
Am I glad to see you here
Oh my friend, oh dear, dear!
...

Attracted as I am like John Keats
To “A thing of beauty is a joy for ever”
Sometimes I am uncomfortable
To beauties of certain flavour
...

I remember all about you
When I sing the song you wrote
The eyes get wet as they knew
The lifelong generosity you dote
...

When I gasp for strength
I borrow it from you, oh the strong ones!
You carry the load stupendous
Of the humanity
...

Walking – have I not been
For thousands of years?
If not with this name and form
But as the species human
...
