Sansar
Tamal Kundu Dec 2016
I can't deny the allure of stability.

A red-brick house with a front porch and wooden pickets,
A mango tree with summer-drooping branches,
A spice garden in pitchers and pots.
The long corridor that runs to the living room,
The stairs lead up to the worldly roof.
Chiming winds curl the curtains on the windows,
Darkness recedes from south to north.
Where Your steps will echo in the rhythm of rain,
And where I'll be, drenched in your scent,
Reciting Tagore.

Ah!
What a life it'll be!
You, me and eternity.

I want it all and I want the road,
Sunsets, gasoline and upcoming bends.
My greed has never known bounds,
My hubris to get to you and get away.

'Sansar' microcosmically means family, and in broader sense it denotes the physical world.

Life need us
to be all full
but it serves
only a half
then keep us
running in a circle
very tricky game
the life we know is

we all are here
write billion words
just to say this
simple truth hidden
till we pay
the cost all it needs
it keeps play
this seek and hide
the game of life
black and white
as I learned
'Sansar' it is
