Home Calling

HOME CALLING

I rose from the soil and water of Barak valley
and like a white  bellied  heron , reached the sky
above the bamboo brakes and the blue hills
to live in an alien land for trivial needs.
But like an ancient father, the meandering Barak
beckoned  me, called  me to its banks.
I had blindfolded myself   ;
I had  lost the vision  of my land !
I was deaf  to the whistling air of Bhuban hill.
How many   years  have gone by under the neon light ?
I am not quite sure.

My identity has been left to urban dust.
Now that I am growing old, I hear the beckoning
I can see the blue hills, fluttering bamboo leaves
and the full moon cast over the flowing Barak.
I can see the  Sonbil , the wood- duck, the  kopou phool.

I want to sit by the banks and may ride a boat
across Barak.
If I sleep for ever in the valley, I don't mind.
After all I will merge back into the soil of Barak.

Barak is a meandering river in Assam, India.
Sonbil is the largest oxbow inland lake
Kopou is the state flower.

This summer I,
Like the parched grass, soil,terrain
Long for you, rain.

Discord

DISCORD.      (c)pkdas181017
We are not what am working to so hard
We never a peer like bud and tendril
Dealing with the terms, odd and skewed enough
I am dying of a world of fright 
I know, as we would not hold anymore
I am keeping on and on, dear me, oh!
I fear being lone, loveless daisy
Now that I am merely staying
Weary of those smiles rotten
Hollow dreams, promises empty, frail pleas
Hiding fears; clinging tears, blowing north wind
Oh! things are badly  stopped. Some light, I pray
We not are, pretend what too cleverly
Never were, together there we never!

Union

UNION         
 Swaying bulrush here,
 Insane wind, dispersing seeds,
 Dark sky, monsoon cloud
 All so fervently reminds
Me of your memories green.

 Rooted, motionless--
 But dispersing my fragrance
To fly high and low;
 To reach you, and be-deck you 
 Celebrating our union.

If Only You Agree

If only once you agree                            IF ONLY YOU AGREE
I can fetch moon and stars,
Oyster pearls from the deep
And all the comfort of this world.
If only once you agree!

Stay assured I can’t do a bit.

Believe me, I'm still a novice!
I do not know,
How to deduce you?
How to amuse you?
How to seduce you?
But out of nothingness
I know one thing for sure
I can love you in all seasons and reasons.
Like my perfumed hanky, my bifocal specks
My medicines and my obsessions;
You go with me, flow with me.
 Licking the raw wound
I savour the flavour of your lips.
A thousand women's breast smelled dried blood;
I long for the jasmine fragrance of yours.

I can’t survive without loving you, thinking of you,
If you drift away like a Semul seed
And ever decide to stop loving me some day
Please do me a last favour;
 Leave behind your love-- then part
Where ever, with whomever you please.

Semul is a tropical tree which disperse seeds in cotton like material

Deciet

DECIET
						
She feigned innocent to me;
Bloomed, color burst, fragrance sprayed.
How insanely I fell for
All those displayed; cleverly made.
How overlooked the veiled reality!
Now that, likings to fade,
She surfaces again; fresh touch
To assume a new shade.

Quest

BROKEN GLASS        Parimal Kumar Das.
Away from the cacophony
Beyond the wires barbed 
Over the high walls arrogant
Across the fields empty
Through the woods green
I stride fast to reach there
Where the sky bows gleefully
Where the birds sing fearlessly
Where the hornets buzz playfully
Where  promises had been made.
I stop to find you among the daisies
Dear me! Here lies before me a wasteland
Leading to a mystic dusty path

Floating in the raft of south wind
 Afar, sail those parched promises.
Wilting moments hide into darkness
Perhaps you have left in the last spring
When the branches bore red flame
Every flower spilled their sweet fragrance
A thousand new birds may have stopped by 
And you chose to fly away with one of them.

Craving

Heart is such an adamant thing
keeps busy, of her thinking.
Though every image drifted afar ;
every grain, every drop with her.
I know all have been said and done,
love wilted under the careless sun
yet heart is such an adamant thing
it grows such fancy wings.
Alibies of a child innocent
asking for that familiar scent.
Knows no barriers, no poison
cravings  for that elusive union.
Heart is such an adamant thing
keeps  busy, of her thinking.

Reminisce

Lying on the grass, gazed
The star studded dark blue sky,
The fireflies glow.
As the breeze caressed my hair,
Fell asleep thinking of her.

Love Sake

Amid the void of my state
My soul is rising from the nadir
To swim across the seven seas
And reach your land, at all expenses!

The air that you breathe is so perfumed,
The water that you drink is so sweet,
The path that you tread is so fancy,
I will mingle in this air, this water and this dust.

I don’t mind if you keep closed your eyes,
If you keep sealed your petal lips,
If my offerings you reproach;
Look! I will still merge in your senses.

It’s for my own sake that I love you 
It’s for my own sake that I believe in you.
What if you count my in-abilities?
Be sure, dear I will hide your flaws!

Our eyes will meet in surprise,
Our hearts will beat in rhythm,
Our bodies will rest in ultimate union.
Should I ever take refuge in doubt
O’ dear! I must cease to exist for love sake.
