Probir Gupta Poet Free verse

Bougainvillea

Tall Bougainvillea stops me, to my surprise

The neck and shoulder dancing in the breeze

To cool my head I need some ice

I refrain as frost would rob the look



All my boats rock in the current

Bougainvillea show is overwhelming

It is spring in the veins and arteries

Excited birds are chirping crazily



Aroused flowers escalate heart beats

Velvet tickling swings the  existence

My whole universe belongs to Bougainvillea

Waves rock the firing granules



I look for and find a decrepit house

Bougain follows me with  mesmerizing smile

Flooding my streets and narrow lanes

Seated by its side, I get hypnotized



Now arrives the enormous rush

Magenta, purple, orange and yellow

We combine them to make a bed

Lay on it hope there will be no tomorrow
