TANKA

Narrow stream

Riverbed almost dry

People’s plunder

Down to flowing of water

They place pieces of bones. 

THE SUBARNAREKHA

Water, it is sometimes reflective, sometimes it is destructive,

None of its nature does care for living, it moves with freedom,

While flowing in a river, or in water pipes, for human use, and

Life is still here, domiciled, or imagined staying of solvency.

In my last tour, you just carry sun-rays in your reflective swirls,

Boulder-road is built, silent wave thread, pedestrians moving

Alongside vehicles, river bed works as platform for road,

Water not making whirlpool, water makes whole decision for

Human being, it does not tilt basins, or break shore, peaceful,

In my today’s tour, you have built a chasing universe, stresses

Within water drive, along past-present asymmetry, and

It is always not to be seen, it is yours pattern, not in

Accordance with fanciful, radial pattern, and there is

A chiral revelation of water molecules, central growth,

It repeats in every rainy season, and it becomes more

Excited when water released from dams, to protect them,

Water, it is your transportation, I do not mix it with legend,

And the river does not leave from here; it does not make fossils,

Wave after wave, it transverses life, carrying certain

Capability to move us for living and doing something exciting

JOURNEY

Morning sunlight prepares

For the day, it is spring, journey

Takes leap for revelations  

Over the water, waves take

Directions of flowing, coming

Over passage of time, and journey

Begins on the platform of

Howrah Railway Station visible

In clean colors, window on touring

Space, keeping life on probable

And possible of self appearance

Where mind is open and

Fantasy is other source of living,

Slowly flowing over dreams. 

HAIKU

Shadow of a bridge

River bed filled with sand

Thin water flowing

I SAW TWO CULTIVATIONS

I saw two cultivations -

Betel leaf and paddy corn in one field,

Both are close to each one’s clossy way,

One big covered zone for betel leaf,

Beneath the trees, and near by is an open  

Meadow filled with rain-waters,

Down to the enclosure lies

Ploughed earth for paddy cultivation,  

Both need plenty of water

For their food, breathing, growing.

Next to each one’s field, one note and one song, 

Next to each one’s share, one quotes and expectation, 

Next to each one’s life, one water, raising ground sensation, 

Next to each one’s visibility, one green and one perpetuation. 

A cool decision comes over life to move fast,

It is mood, food, boost, energy,

Those are caring for life and livelihood,

 Making everything touching in motion,

And as I was moving on within their territory,

I think of their silent co-existence,

No war, no bargaining in their firmament.

WONDERFUL CLOUD

These clouds come out from the water of the earth,

They have thoroughfare, as programmed in air-path,

Tossed like tottered walks, yet firm with whitewash,

Making jewel of hovering water, quenching our thirst.

The blue has got the heart to hold them at far,

There they do move in freedom of mind we do search,

Here we upon the earth see their moment of purge

Forming water bubbles, to pour in ponds, tulip and 

Rivers and bodies of the earth, we see through window,

Falling of rain, daisies of life, that we soak in mind,

In dream of life, new life, dwell with founding terms,

Those we build in our source of diamond murmurs. 

TANKA

Little clouds hover in

Morning sunlight in the sky,

April on the trip,

On health purpose, wide journey

Begins with fruit, food and water.

THE MARS

Image of the Mars, enigmatic designing,

NASA’s Curiosity rover is on guest riding,

To find life with water and carbon bonding,

A hope to bloom in crust-finding.
