Probir Gupta Poet Rhyme

Mockingbird Painting

Beside a lake a mockingbird paints on the canvas of time
A luscious lyrics of  an orange  and crimson hue
While the menagerie of the scattered light in sky looks sublime
As the frangipani freedom greets the birds that just flew
Infusing the waters of the turquoise lake
With the poetry of their  wings along with the twilight shake

Clouds graze like the ancestral lambs
Ripples of the memories slip through my hands 
Vermillion sunset sits on water
As pellucid as the first evening star
