Bubbly branch of tree
First writes a haiku of cups
Then bursts in sonnets
Probir Gupta Nov 2017
Through my small windows
A tree peeped at the pink grass
Shadows on a glass
A Haiku

Forever a silk moon

Will sit on hearts strewn

In my and your snow

To remind us both


Many a sunshine

From our diamond

Did we mingle

In a mighty flame

A handful of hyacinth from an ocean
Which just you know from where you collected
When you put it into the pockets of my trouser
Blue sky chose to blossom into white flowers

Look at the pink bottle in the red shelf
I have preserved them for my poetry
The key to the bottle is inaccessible to others
As it is protected in my scarlet box of waves
Those pleasure and pains in a tiny bouquet
This morning only I opened the bottle
And to my blue shiver found this line
Poetry is two handfuls of grapevine

Me
Two handfuls of sky
Seeking frantically
Near the hills and sea
This is me

When the sun is off
Harsh sounds reign in cough
Sick horses at the trough
I sit with keyboard and a cup of tea

Look out of my window
Looking for a radiant yellow
In sweet air they grow
I am on my toes
Of them I choose two or three
From darkness some others join merrily
Stanzas emerge awesomely  

I get them on the tablet screen
Scarlet indigo and green
Sentences in sheen

The judge coming out
When says, fine, now let it sprout
They are good no doubt

I set them free
Wait for the touch of a sea
Two handfuls of sky seeking in glee

This is me

Time is adrift
One waits for one’s gift

Crystals of amber and gray shadow
Say to the the pomegranate like girl, hello
Looks restless your sparrow
Clouds float in your blue thought

The turquoise water of the lake
Looks at her thoughts opaque
From deep cave a green snake
Slithering towards her white teapot

Slender branches arch over the water
Looking for the focused archer
And the consequent breakers
To cool her mind distraught

In light and shade the path is waiting too
For the rainbow the horses will come through
Moments say, let's wait for the coup
Making the girl a cosmonaut

A brook besought
So well hardbought

Sorry, I no more seek your suns
Nor moons
Yes, your suns I loved very much

Your passionate sun
Around which my planets would run
Your cool moons
Shedding long leaves
On my glistening lagoon
I remember
All my swoons
From wine in your spoon

But your nerves
Went for new curves
It happens
Very often
Our rivers do not like the same course
Especially when you endorse
Flames of passion
And we are rivers

You developed a new craze
In a psychedelic haze
In that crazy spree
You started neglecting me
Initially I got lonely
Missed you terribly
My ocean frozen I was in a depression
Of the morbid flower
In pale blue showers
From the two windows
Morose under compulsion
For many a day, month and year
Irritation in the mug of bear
Tearing my spirit
Pulverizing all my lyrics
Landslide in Mirik

But again all rivers are resilient
If you stop its normal course
It gathers unexpected force
The remorse underlie

I grew seasoned without you
I was out of the bottomless blues
Though could not but reflect on the cues
In the morning dew
And sighed too
But I learned to live agile and alert
Brushing aside the frozen heart
Gave up on hashish
Cleaned the debris
Started looking smart

Now I have travelled a long path
No more remorse no wrath
No smokes of the aftermath
Now I understand
The diamonds of life
Love matters much
Especially in the flowers of touch
But when you ignore
It does not matter
I have got my poems of freedom
Your walls can never ruffle them
Mirik is a Himalayan tourist spot in Darjeeling
