Poetry – Soumyadeep Chakraborty

1. Usually I hope not- Soumyadeep Chakraborty

Usually I hope not to miss
Carrying bags uniformed,
Splashes of water,
Raincoats of multilple shades.
The seasaw rides uplifting
Childhood.
Decoded with truth I hope so
Memories racked in row,
Plethora of ply, they are neither
Yours, thoroughly mine.
In this case of adjourned growing,
Like economy of my country
I hope I am one among all
Also, I could be anybody’s who gives
Liberty of expressing hunger,
Equality of shelter,
And brotherhood with the days
I cherish.

2. Roars and Fury

প্রবল প্রবাহের প্রলয় প্রদর্শন,
দেশে দেশে ঘরহীন ছাদখোলা প্রানপথ,
তাতে প্রকৃতির গতিবেগ ধায় অন্তিমের থেকে নতুন লড়াই
শপথ চাইতে…

কোনো এক কবিকলম সেই কতকাল পূর্বে বুঝি ছন্দে মিলিয়েছিল এ দৃশ্য. কিছুটা এরকমই:

Dreadest apocalypse catalyst like
Showing the unroofed nation
A liferoute,
Chased by the velocity of airy nature
Would it be a new start to endroot?
Somewhere centuries ago,
An Artist has played words upon
Symmetrical picture of such a scene.

– Dedicated and tribute
To ‘The Tempest’ by William Shakespeare

3. The world then…

The world then,
Was a ground where
Smiles kindled on green and greener
Grasses.
Now the remaining hemisphere has
Turned into a match box,
Sticks all poured in,
Waiting to be struck for a
Flicker again.
A square named home
To some evolved into a cell
Only developing into nothing but the epidemic
Of selfhood…
