At The Demise - Of A Bird

The Spring came.

The green leaves

She spread along with

Fresh new air.

And an uncontrolled

desire to meet with

became eager

in all his branches.

But she did not

turn up,did not turn up along

with her twinkling

little smile;

And restive trees

restlessness at last

stopped for ever.

The baby girl called


2/66

her mother___

See mamma how beautiful

the bird is!with all its last strength

it looked up.

Shedding all her ornaments

Evening covered the

little bird with

goldlike affection

of immortality.

A.Chakraborty..

How dreadfully black

is the cloud !

What vision-erasing

tremendous Rains !

On the bosom of the

dense darkness

Lightning -- a symbol

of danger !

All will be quiet

one day doubtlessly.

But shall I ever see

the Sunrise?

Only once , once only.

A.chakraborty..

I do not remember

when on an auspicious moment

the wheels of my chariot

gained speed__

a speed which reflected

millions molecules of

Light ,

Atmosphere became

full of vivacity

New Life came into existencethrough that violence of creation.

I got shelter,

I know one day

my island will be flooded ;

Where should I take

shelter in which island again?

Will I be alone at that time


6/66

in the cloudless blue sky?

Carrying the rays of

the setting Sunat which island

I will fly & fly to

have some shelter for rest?

Would I get my

Life Partner?

Would I get the

shelter of an island

surrounded by coconut trees?

A.chakraborty..

Auspicious moment!

Conch shell blown!

Has some new life

come on to the earth!

Welcome to you!

Thou might have hadnt

thousands of years

departure & arrival

on to this earth

We , the caressed

dwellers wish you welcome!

Thou the son

of Eternity , the traveler

round thousands of light yearsof Time! We welcome you .

Oh, the new Soul!

when at the beginning


8/66

of creation life was

still to have some form

He was restlesssuffering in pains

beyond description

under the Sea____

at that auspicious moment

you came to Being.

Since then

age after age ,

year after year

your advent

has been cherished

with all desire

and ecstasy!

A.Chakraborty..

Just like

a broken-hearted

hungry skeleton tranquility called me.

I heard and heard

and then

I have turned myself

into an exhausted

half dead skeleton

I , therefore ,

want to leave this world

and move to somewhere

where I might discover

the Image of Silent Death,

a lying dead body.

And in that calm & quiet ,

Icy hill of North & South Polemay beckon to take rest

for ever & ever.

A.Chakraborty..

Pitiful lamenting cry

of millions

Surely enter into

their dried up bosoms

and make them terrified.

Times unchangeable

principle make them

terrified

and aimless thinking

tells heavily on

the murderers.

Oh God! Thanks full

of gratitude!

In their death

their limited airy existence

spread far and wide


11/66

through you as a centre

of boundless inspiration

them to spread far and wideall over the world.

Oh God!

we want peace

the peace that shines

like the rising Sun

spreads its soft shine

on paddy plants

and make the farmer couples

brightening face , the

peace that achieves permanent

shelter in between

the lover & beloveds

lips

and above all

the peace that

displays


12/66

joy of a baby

in the bosom

of loving mother.A.Chakraborty..


13/66

In thy death

I gained life.

I did find myself out

In an unknown

ever alive condition.

I knew myself anew.

I found my life

where Time is endless

continuous Entity.

I saw , I came

to know

Thou art Continuous

and Immortal

A.Chakraborty..


14/66

9

I remember you.

Its as if like

an ice cold wave

which has come out

from the dense depth

of forgetfulness

Creates some

feeling of sweet air

in parts of heart.

Heart is never

an organ only.

Its the poetry of life.

Through the torn away

pages of life,

it brings inuntouchable but lovely turning from

some heavenly abode.


15/66

Today in this beautiful

morning

Touch of memory

made me woke up .

Across the far away landscape

cause floating an

immortal Swat song

lyrics started turning

Awoke the picture

The picture that life

is only an immortal

sensation.

A.Chakraborty..


16/66

O Lord , those who carry

on Thy message into this world

their dreamy lips

turn pale and

powerless.

Ferocious Death with its

cruel lash turn

their holy persons

a dreadful bloody sight

into this earth.

Innumerable people of

pain-struck earth become

a sight as if millions

& millions of diseased humanity

have beenbreathing their last breath.

O Lord!


17/66

Behind their coffins

follow the silent procession

of so called humanity.They are full of tears,

aimless symbol

of eternal poverty ,

But then too , they have

settled themselves down .

Where is light?

How far?

When?

A.Chakraborty..


18/66

11

Everyday I pray

Let me have success

in life .

I know not

whats the measuring

pick of Success__

Is it peace , or happiness

or Prosperity or honour?

When I wake up

in the morning

I repeat -- Success please.

When through my

ester window

let through golden

sunray on tomy bed

I get struck dumb

--Ah what a peace!


19/66

Time passes__

Sometime negligenceand dishonour

brings in a taste

of failure.

I pray again -- Success please!

Having crossed 60 long

years of life.

The pot of inner mind

has been heavy with

memory & experience

bitterness , injustice

complaints__ and

all around them , I

feel my heart with the

taste of joy and glory.

All are transient !

A moment before death


20/66

if the thought that I

have done what all

I had to do,I will feelI have

achieved success.

Now I am free.

A.Chakraborty..


21/66

12

Clouds bring in rains

and also carry

message of endless

pain of the ocean.

Thats why it sheds tears.

I am aware of that.

Thats why even now

when I suddenly get awake

my mind rushes

towards the Sea

with the rushing clouds

where I know once

I got fulfilled my dream.

So I shed tears !

A.Chakraborty..


22/66

13

Let the sea be foamy.

Let the high waves

make the hills angry.

And then ,

I may get a peaceful abode.

After a long search for it

seems I have become tired.

Ocean has no end.

Call of horizon

may be , made the Sea

a homeless vagabond.

May be , once upon a time

the Sea came to listen

the beckon call of an island

full of birds songsurrounded by beauty

of coconut trees.


23/66

Oh my Lord!

that island is no more

visible,And so the tired wings

of that bird still now

flaps and seek for

shelter in the dense dark.

Should I , at all , have

any shelter any day?

Have I not become

the symbol of stony

and stony mountains?

Would my heart ever

be like a vast pond

full to the brim

in the rains?

May be , the bird

with golden rays of Sun

on its wings will find


24/66

an island where it

will gain the peace of

eternal sleep.A.Chakraborty..


25/66

14

I could , not talk any more.

I remained silent!

Light of the eyes

came to an end

It became night altogether

for me.

No movement , no life

yet , I turned into

a lively corpse

for ever.

A.Chakraborty..


26/66

15

Dream moves on along

with white Kites

flapping wings.

Shineless Sun declares

Noon is going

to be over.

Birds of variety make

groups for flight

by the side

of yellow farming lands

towards their nests.

Then their come

white herons

under the red sky

as if a Rainbow.In the frame of

my mind the picture

is eternal.


27/66

So I feel exhausted

within the boundaryof four walls.

A.Chakraborty..


28/66

16Is the sky so little?

Is the air so limited?

Oxygen is at being

finished in no time,

but where is fire?

Long Long ago

one morning

the aborigin human

that sparked the first fire

of civilization,

ultimately Present Civilization

strangled it to

almost dead.

Even then

I dream

I dream of Peace ,

Truth and Tranquility.

A.Chakraborty..


29/66

17Your flower garden

does not attract

my attention any longer.

May be they are

still beautiful ,

but I do not feel

any reflection of

their beauty

on the screen of my mind.

What a curse it is !

Having you lost

I have lost my all

mental faculties.

A.Chakraborty..


30/66

18

Having Lost My Beloved

I am tired , half dead

at the beckon

of a hungry, tattered

skeleton like Peace.

I want to separate

myself at a place

of Peace

where under the sea

full of liquid poison

a drowned body may achieve

silent unmoved

atmosphere of Peace

in the icy hills of Poles.

A.Chakraborty..


31/66

19

White stars are bloom

in the garden.

I failed to enjoy them

ever before.

When I woke up

with the morning stars

in my eyes

My heart my self

remembered you

and from

under the clouds

just like a ray of Sun

came out your smile.

White herons are a-float

I perceived long ago-

Again I saw them a new.Surprising!

How the old sight was

still alive in my heart?


32/66

I , too ,want to survive

in somebodys heart

not for ever , but for a moment.A.Chakraborty..


33/66

20

I seek for your shelter.

Myself fatigued both

physically & mentally.

Receive me

Embrace me

Addiction of red wine

should spread in

each & every part

of my body

and make me enchanted.

I want to witness my life

in the shade of your

lightening body.

Oh Saki!why wont I die at

this moment?

Why not Earth lose


34/66

its motion for ever?

And Time become as still

as the bottom of the Sea?Today or tomorrowI know ,

the Earth will lose its motion

and then we shall enjoy

ourselves with

all at ease.

I am still alive in that

very hope only.

A.Chakraborty..


35/66

21

Let me attain my

freedom in the

overwhelming light

of the great Universe.

Oh the Great Cradle

me like the tune

of the song ,

Let my expressions

be clear like the

turning of Lyre

while in the air moving

hither and thither

everywhere!

Cherishing the dream

of a new worldlet me have a new

birth in a novel

world.


36/66

With the advent

of a new civilization.

Let my self-sacrifice ,demolition and suffering

from odds be a success.

I am older than the

Earth

I am immortal

Under the wheel of

my chariot

So many worlds

got motionless and

were demolished and

got lost forever.

So let me open my

eyes in another world.

A.Chakraborty..


37/66

22

All tasks done for today.

I long for peace for a while.

I have received the signal

from the flapping wings of

home coming birds.

Every morning

I think

Now its time to take adieu

To depart somewhere

across hills and mountains.

I know nothing

about the princess

lying with golden and silver

sticks , by her head and feet.

I know not anything

of a store of gold and diamonds


38/66

in the royal palace

I do not know

like whirling hot dustwhere shall I settle at last.

A.Chakraborty..


39/66

23

Having lost one

I have lost

Everything I had,

as the desert

of the deserts

Sahara has lost

all joys of life.

The same I too

suffered burying down

all the joys of my heart

I have , as if , lost

all of a sudden,

what I had saved

in wealth and treasury of ecstasy

without knowingHow it had happened so.

Yet I survive , I am dynamic


40/66

in the infinite revolution

of the Earth

just like a skeletonof flesh and blood.

A.Chakraborty..


41/66

24

*The dream it Be dream for others-

not for me*

I like green

I like white

White covers all

Green is bright.

Black I shouldnt hate

If Black is kept by whites side

White gets brighter.

Make a comparison

between the two

and find the reality

Which is who.

Its all over with me;

But the world is there,

So I lived it and so I leave

the dream I cherished.

A.Chakraborty ..


42/66

25

Approaching Darkness

Approaching darkness

Indication of Starting homeward.

But alas ! My home

is unknown to me.

I do not know too

who is waiting for me.

Is there anybody really?

Or dreadful darkness

waits for me?

Tell me what should I have?

Wouldnt I see a lady

like lamp light

She will be my guide

in this dense dark

airless world.

A.Chakraborty..


43/66

26

I have my past

I will have my future

__both like a dried up rivulet.

My present?

Bonny Skeleton

covered with a

dried up skin,

My past was an aimless

directionless whirlwind misdirected.

as if a picture of

a tormented dying animal

I desire to

brush away all that

__Past , Present , Future.

It comes to me__

let me turn intoa mommy of Egypt__

Lifeless , Static __

an exhibit only in the


44/66

market of the world.

And then waiting and

waiting fora volcanic eruption

my ghostly self

will be alive.

A.Chakraborty..


45/66

27

Today or Tomorrow

One day through

Lifes moving

up and up

I will achieve

Immortality .

That day Time will halt

just by the side

of myself

as if Mahakals

commanding word

Stop like

a violent wave

suddenly silenced

for good.

That day shedding theliving body

dying a death of

black -stained


46/66

adversities of

daily life.

That is the day

on which I shall achieve

immortality.

I want to reach that point

where the Time Movement

all have attained

eternal Silence

where covered with Peace

I get the Life beyond

the day to day life.

Oh Lord! Let my end come

at that Immortality.

A.Chakraborty..


47/66

28

Thronging black clouds all around.

Palacial walls around me

made me as if in a prisoned house.

Today I realized

what is the pain of captivity.

I thought I would open my doors,

and let the violent storm

would break into pieces

to let me fly high

over and over

where there is flopping

of king of birds Gadura.

A.Chakraborty..


48/66

29

That day I thought I would

start on my way.

Golden green Parrot will have

yellow dot on its forehead.

And, across the

milky sea of FairyTales

My mind will start sailing

across mount of Stones and pearls

and at last reach the

palace of Pasowati,

the Rakshas queen

in disguise of a Beauty.

A.Chakraborty..


49/66

30

There floats a face

in my faded mind-

a forgotten, beautiful

face.

It has become beauty of

never seen glorious Ajanta

and Ellora

The artist in me

in all probability

for ages crossing

over uncountable

revolution of earth

silent , unquiet

restless- and

bright with the dream

of creation..The unseen which

wants to be bound

by coming in the


50/66

light of a bright view

Oh yes! probably

it may express itselfin a totality and

completely expressive

in its entire form

in a sweet morning

or in a clear

moonlit night

or in my pain-struck

skin of mind.

A.Chakraborty..


51/66

31

Having crossed the

stony walls and hills

My mind rushes away.

The address of the

lovely princess

lying asleep with golden

and silvery sticks

at her head and leg side

is unknown to me,

I Know not

any giant store

of stones, pearls and gold.

I do not know where my mind

is likely to gainstationary stay

just like a hot whirlwind!

A.Chakraborty..


52/66

32

I am an artist

I draw pictures

carrying no meaning at all-

and no rhythm also.

They are only the

creation of an artist

of no fame-- only

some disturbing

sketches of no systematic

discipline.

Sometimes I feel startled

I call myself a

man being of distorted

personality.

I vowed I would

create something great .And so again and again

whenever I try to make

the abstract Beauty


53/66

a Reality,

I get lost in a

current of whirlwindIs it true?

Or I am not a failure?

One day my creation

will gain Spring

of Eternity.

A.Chakraborty..


54/66

33

If the sky could have the

capacity to speak ,

I too might have

endowed with

that skill.

If the air would be

alive

I would have been

blessed with life.

In a vast

world I remained

speechless without

any movement.

My lifeless mindbecame restless

with the pang of

expressing itself,


55/66

My Stony soul became

restless in its

endeavour tomove..

but alas! restless mind

became silent ,

the stony soul lost

its to move

any farther!

Oh the Earth! Be a

bit more green!

with the light of

expression let

your dark bosom

be bright.

A.Chakraborty..


56/66

34

Lone bird!

Tired wings!

Colorless Past!

When did I start?

And whence?

The rising Sun!

The sinking Sun!

Where should I land?

When ? Can anybody tell me?

Oh! The twinkling eyes of night

Why are you so dark?

Forgotten path

Lost Horizonceaseless moving still!

The black clouds!


57/66

The black devils

The torn sky

Helpless floating.

Ah! The island

Coconut trees

And there , there

My sweet heart ,

At last I am

with thee.

A.chakraborty..


58/66

35

Time is almost up

could no grow anything

fruitful.

A tremendous whirlwind

tattered all my aims

along with me.

What a creation!

Meaningless! worthless!

But I wanted to survive

to survive under the sky,

in the air trading

over field after field.

I wanted to survive

through eternity

in the form of fruit flower

and what not?I lost the power

of speech

I became silent.


59/66

Light of eyes

turned getting

dim & dim.I myself became

the darkness of night.

I became breathless

without any movement

Oh! yes I turned

into a lively

Corpse.

A.Chakraborty..


60/66

36

On one remote

morning of first

creation---

the first man

of my liking

lit the light

in the yard of

the ill surrounded

civilization

---that has been lost.

Turning into a

dead body

I filled my breath

with the smell of

rotten Earth.Dream is still there

A heavenly sweet smell

I scent as if from a


61/66

long past & unknown future.

My fossil will count& count and wait

for that to come.

A.chakraborty..


62/66

37

Hand in Hand

Speech Speechless

Heart full with

ecstasy

just like an

everflowing

rivulet full of

calm and quiet

Speechless emotion.

Alas! when I come

Back home now ,

where is She?

Heart trembles

Mind boggles

Where are you?Where are you?

Light that

visualize the


63/66

unseen

is no more there,

no , moreAnd never to come

again.

A.chakraborty..


64/66

38

On the sight of Tajmahal

I do not know where

towards which sacred place

you boat still sails away!

Towards on the way to

a Star

still you sail still bright

your boat.

Just like dried up flowers

fallen down the branches

that still long for anotherspring - new , brilliant ,

ecstatic.

Oh the emperor!

you might have been

a traveler on the way

to Eternity-

It may happens so


65/66

Heavenly people

have welcomed you

with flowers , garlandsand well adorned lamps

that enhances your

imperial dignity farther

and farther.

Most beautiful ladies might

have thrown away their

extra special ornaments at

your feet.

You are immortal.

Your passage

never allows you

to stop.

You are ever bright

You are

immortal!

A.Chakraborty..
