Indigo Poem by Soumili Karmakar

The indigo sky with stars sparkling
Home, for so long had been a dream to me.
Years pass with the compliance of our orbit's silvering wand
Is worthy of a peaceful eternity to be.

If the evolution twist the roots of our civilization
Will our orbit rest in an after-life too?
Gracefully, my orbit is wide awakened for lighting the lives
Sleepless is she, though thoughtful always
Unexpecting even a little shower of love.

Can we then, be grateful to one another for her grace?
Perhaps, she too breathes unquestionably guarding our ways.
Since childhood I've seen the stars lining outside her castle
With the sky in indigo I see her in eyes full of grace.


Imploring Providence to write our ocean,
To unite in colours of a thousand golden beams
Subduing time and naming young ones:
The beginning and rising of two seas.

Still in memoirs and in gratitude
I gaze towards the southern sky tonight
Yet, Monsoon is far behind to come
Our evergreen fields, and valleys of hope murmurs in ears to find.

The long silence of alluring streams,
Flowing in every corner of my heart,
Whispering in winds of your hill.
Shall the twilight and dawn meet before forever drifts apart?


The greatness of you ever present in my eyes
This I have known in so far without any fading tides.
The joy of being placed in a world
Where the palms are adjoined with grace
And the heart still searches for a soul as the stars align by your name.

Winter cherishing perhaps the last month before our Spring
Beginning to hum a tune reserved to be found when rain calls for her being.
Our benevolent ranges with the last appeal of snowflakes,
Shall embrace our rhododendrons, dahlias and Maplewoods basking in wintry days.

How many births did Spring's evenings have passed
Watching the sunset and my sunflowers musing together?
These took back the very first moment of your glance
And since then, a pair of eyes have been Universe's art
Both being a wonder and a home of different countries, and of different time zones.
