25/F/kolkata, India I'm a geologist by profession. An introvert. Nature and books are my best friends.
Night Train, travel through the world unknown The black hills with a maroon sky thick behind it The metallic sound of friction valiantly losing battle to the poignant silence Night Train, write an epic of the hands that cup around the eyes Of the eyes that talk to the distant light Of the lights that blink and the ones that stay still Night Train, don't slow down for each breath falls faster than the wind outside Night Train, don't slow down for the still is more piercing than the dark blades of grass lying far below The rhythmic oscillation of the half sleeping bodies stacked one above the other The threatening aura of the stiff backbones stoically awake The lone observer is lost in the nightly delusion Night Train, chronicle a dark fantasy of the broken fragments the night narrates Night Train, stop, send a jolt, deaden the incantations Before the dawn or its harbingers intrude

NIGHT TRAIN
Our speck of life, So insignificant Our hopes, our joy, our pain Are but an illusion within a reference frame Did you notice how our lives with yesterday rhyme? The morbid, the banal and their incessant chime The dear equilibrium is at the mercy of Time

TIME
When the night falls in the wet rain drops the fluttering of the leaves that star, I don't know what she speaks In all the other things that awake my quiet reverie My Artist, I feel you telling me your story Stories of far past Stories of moments  that hardly last of all those merry, gay nights of those hard hangovers and crazy fights Artist, if I could only say How I treasure the pearls of your stories for my solitary days In years I don't know where I will be But won't you be there, won't you come to see me? Or may be it's too much to ask from Time I've got more than what's truly mine Artist, in a far off town or at an unfamiliar strand Send me your stories that blow from your land
