Sand Poem by Sankhajit Bhattacharjee

Sand

Rating: 4.5


Yellow desert sand sucks rainwater
without showing any sign of blossom-
life, fertility and creation remain far away.
I'm like that-
receiving gigantic romantic waves in my core
but can't differentiate among love, beauty and passion.
Waves are perceived regularly
without any sign of blossom.
As the bareness of sand makes it a silent graveyard,
the bareness of my life
makes me to sleep day and night in a grave.
I live within sand,
sand lives within me.
I'm sand,
sand is me.

The desert is magic, it's life, it's death. Wonderful poem!

A beautiful poem, describing the infertility of a 'barren' life. 'Waves are perceived regularly without any sign of blossom. As the bareness of sand makes it a silent graveyard, the bareness of my life makes me to sleep day and night in a grave. I live within sand, sand lives within me.' - Loved these lines and the imagery they portray.
