Can you draw spiral stars,
On the broadest daylight
Or maybe a mushroom,
On a slight dusky spring morning.
The world of artifacts,
With metals and rust and
Currents and power can.
Can you paint with blood and flesh,
The script of new face, -  blind parades of dead.
A spring morn with fluttering twigs for nest and next-
That day when her lips,
Filled with joy leaped to touch the sky,
Only metals and power,
Vanquished the laughter-
But sounds do never lost,
Haunt the birds that build nests.
Mushroom grew from the dust,
Spat blood on the throne of heaven,
That ended the spring,
With wintry rustle.
................................
Only a while ago,
As he looked up to the sky,
Heart sank and drowned,
As the airbus boomed atop.
For who knows,
What way life may turn.
Some uranium may sing his voice next,
Or some birds may sit on void perch.
The sound ceased, his heart thumped,
In the sounds of hustle bustle,
His sound lost enough,
To be heard, as the nest is empty.
For power and artifacts, we follow,
We walk to the scythe,
And little we know,
That we water seeds of extinction,
With more metals and salts of pride.
Remember the 1945, results of science and power. Mushroom cloud grew from the dust and puked on the sky.
Now 2018, science has silenced us, fear has overtaken our lives. Maybe a blind parade to earn and live. In between we are loosing ourselves. Nests are the foundation of joy, hope and a relation with this nature.

Spring a gore noise,
Autumn a wet sponge.
When birds in spring
Unloved and un-kissed.
When rain drops in autumn
Wets no shoulders.
Spring, a death lament
When moths do move,
But with winds - with no song.
Autumn, a funeral drum,
When no rain but dreams plummet,
Spattering over the blaze.
Cuckoo's cry or petrichor,
When unloved is broken harp or roasted almond.
But, spring is not the death lament,
For moths who buzz no more,
May hope to fill lips with violin scream.
But, spring is not the funeral drum,
For petrichor may join the lavender,
Wet together may fill with life.
Spring and winter, two unsung soul.
Plight of broken dreams.

Sky is the end of the race,
All we do is pedal to it.
Some moves so far
That their roots are torn.
Endless they strive,
But up to where?
The void? The sand ship?
But where ends the sky?
All we tend to kiss the sky and strive,
Under our prayer and sweat.
Some with wings, some in dreams,
Some with boats or rafts, we walk,
But to which horizon
The sky ends?

Branches roasted with summer
That yielded fruits
Too lethal and crook
In caprice much and more,
Ages before that sipped the solitary room
And now with withered leaves-
Wags to lean towards the sky through bars too rusty to lean.  
As summer sun grills
Arms coaxing to the root
Beneath the sky
To break away  with the harp
That marks the decree of free lark,
Free, free from the closet that imprisons the leaves.
Deep within the bars
With screeching voice
Sings the freedom
To summon the rain of victory.
Free, free,  free
Aching voice of leaves, sound and cease,
Till inferno burns to ashes that flutters with wind and hark,
Free, free, free.
Some ages in past winter winds
Rustled over the twigs
Whiped the skin
Too damnation the closet felt
That fruits too lethal do rot
And as sweet peach appeared, the summer screeched.
Branches= prisoners
Closet=prison
Lethal fruits=sin or crimes
Summer= the time in prison when a person regret.
Winter=the time of torture.
Sweet peach= the bud of goodness.
Harp= an instrument that plays the song of regret

While I painted the bird,
It always flew,
For captive is too gross.
I wished to hope,
My heart always painted the hope,
But captive is too gross after all.
Bird and hope, best friends?

Rains do dry,
Before it drench.  
Spring is dead,
Before it blossomed.
Smile is constant,
As lips freeze,
And eyes too pale to speak.
Mayukh Saha Mar 2018
I parted the curtain,
To see the larks screech,
But as a little went off,
Howl and tears,
Birds creeping with pain,
Music has been a rush,
Music of bullets,
Painted the neighbour.
Fear,
I turned down the curtain,
For my heart,  
Folly and frail,
Though hopes to assure rain and spring,
Words but no action to render.
But veil too thin to contend the gore,
Maybe the birds screeched till it joined the music of bullets again,
Who knows?
My cozy bed took me to my dreams.
Syrian war has caused devastation. What we do is write and shout. But you know a united footstep can even shake the world. But our pillows seduces too much.
