"dreamily" poems
*Long lines looped the carousel the first time you gazed my eye, mounted on that chestnut mare, grasped tight to the reigns up high. I see his face around the bend, a corn dog in his hand. Locking eyes as I rise. I blush, above the crowd he stands.    Light flickers, mouths water delicate contoured lips laugh. I smile. The music hesitates along with my breath. I think I'll be staying awhile. Bewildered and a little dizzy, I dismount with a giggle. I lick my dry lips, dreamily, hoping he is single. With the wind, a light mist blows. I can see her slowly get wet, stumbling she falls my way. I'm excited, this day isn't over yet Drip, drip, drip upon my face, anxiously, I turn to hurry. In my haste, he catches my waist swallowing... I fall covertly. Lips moisten, I pull her near a kiss, slipped, tongues twirl, wanton whispers whisked away, drenched deep passion's unfurl. A stranger's kiss upon my lips beneath the dreary skies. Soaking wet, I'm still on fire He caught me by surprise. A stranger's kiss upon my lips beneath the queching skies. Heaven sent, a burning desire; she, such a welcomed surprise.*

The Affair At The Fair (A Collaboration)
You were born of oceans, glacial upheavals melting a temperate forest of raining seas I climbed your stair step moss to see night stars mingle with fir trees I watched through the night only sleeping when stars did, when birds came echoing through your woods, at first light, in mists of fog I slept dreamily in forest song

Rolling a Pall Mall in the courtyard, of Ye Olde Swiss Cottage Tavern, in the last of November's sun:       Lovely sunlight,       You are,       Filling me warmly with joy. Thinking of our desires, from summer and autumn months, up to this bright November morning, we have happily danced, e'en in the shadows. Above me two brick turrets, as I dreamily smoke, nonchalantly state: 'Underground'. High-raised logos winking at our play, struck through with horizontal blue, in a circle of enamel white. 'Old Fool,' the towers hiss, directed at my mortal sensibilities, 'winter has come!' But nothing buries us as our sun still comfortingly kindles a friendly star which when all is dark, glows inside, guiding the shipwreck of my sunken years - the debts and all those unpaid thrills! Dreaming and Loving, as children out, lost in an abundant ***** each holding off for as long as we dare, lovers unmasked, naked before suffocating paternity, and cold winter's bite! where to we hardly know, to avoid its cruel embrace.

Winter Come
A boat, beneath a sunny sky Lingering onward dreamily In an evening of July -- Children three that nestle near, Eager eye and willing ear Pleased a simple tale to hear -- Long has paled that sunny sky: Echoes fade and memories die: Autumn frosts have slain July. Still she haunts me, phantomwise Alice moving under skies Never seen by waking eyes. Children yet, the tale to hear, Eager eye and willing ear, Lovingly shall nestle near. In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die: Ever drifting down the stream -- Lingering in the golden gleam -- Life what is it but a dream?

Epilogue to Through the Looking Glass
Take me with you to your Atlantis Where hues of blue glisten in noons For eternity we embrace in its promise Are days of sober in crystallic bliss Are nights of glacial comfort under mystic lunes Take me with you to your Atlantis Wash me into a tender kiss Too soft to be witnessed but the full moons For eternity we embrace in its promise Beyond boundaries of mortality at this ocean, through the skies and dunes Take me with you to your Atlantis Volumes and arks fill up the abyss with painted tales of Atlantic ruins For eternity we embrace in its promise When love dreamily left only to reminisce as the ink of Plato seeped in tunes Take me with you to your Atlantis For eternity we embrace in its promise

Take me with you to your Atlantis
The butterflies in her stomach assure her she is alive with a nervous glance and anxious sigh she dreamily wonders about "her guy"

A BOAT beneath a sunny sky, Lingering onward dreamily In an evening of July -- Children three that nestle near, Eager eye and willing ear, Pleased a simple tale to hear -- Long has paled that sunny sky: Echoes fade and memories die: Autumn frosts have slain July. Still she haunts me, phantomwise, Alice moving under skies Never seen by waking eyes. Children yet, the tale to hear, Eager eye and willing ear, Lovingly shall nestle near. In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die: Ever drifting down the stream -- Lingering in the golden dream -- Life, what is it but a dream? THE END

A Boat beneath a Sunny Sky
The stars stayed in tonight. They were intimidated by the light and heat emanating from you and me. They knew it would be without cause to try and outshine our love. They knew you and I would put them to shame. Orion put away his belt and watched us dreamily. Taurus calmed itself, going off to sleep. Even the seven sisters somehow managed to put aside their differences in order to watch our warm glow. So we went out walking just to be sure the world wouldn’t be without our light. With each step and each word we only confirmed the thoughts of the stars and the cloudy sheets stayed fast. Only the moon dared try to outshine us. She knew her love of the sun would be the only light brighter than us.

The Warm Glow
I've always felt mirrors worked two ways standing naked gleaming dreamily gazing unknowingly staring in God's hidden eyes either boastful or ashamed.

Dreamily over the roofs The cold spring rain is falling, Out in the lonely tree A bird is calling, calling. Slowly over the earth The wings of night are falling; My heart like the bird in the tree Is calling, calling, calling.

Twilight
Standing under the starry sky, He gazes at the crimson moon. He is old, solitary and shy He knows his end is coming soon. The wind smiles as she passes through him, Brushing his hair, kissing his cheek. Playful as she may seem She knows, he is now weak. He gazes dreamily at the sky, Reminiscing the glory days of his life. Like everyone else, he will also die But, he is happy as he knows that he will be with his wife. He wonders as he watches the crimson moon. He knows, his end is coming soon. Tanay Sengupta, Copyright © 2018. All Rights Reserved

The old soul and the crimson moon
This Valentine’s Day, I will not promise you the twinkling stars or the dreamily shimmering blue moon. No, don’t get me wrong, My love, But, I will not promise all those fantasies, that I cannot really gift you. But, I will vow to love you till the eternity And make you realize howspecial you are. And you’ll crave for no cloudland. Because my love will be your Only euphoria. And I will promise you Honesty, love, trust and happiness. I will not promise you the bed of roses only. For I know every rose comes with its thorn. Life can be cruel at times and I promise at those harsh moments, I will be the last person to leave you alone. What good are the big vows, when one fails to bestow even a simple smile? What good are the big crystal moon and the twinkling stars when you have eclipse in your heart and misery in your eyes? Today, my dear, the world has failed to realize that happiness comes from within. So sweetheart, I will not promise you only the happy days ahead. For life is the blend of ecstasy and agony. But I will assure you that in every strive, you’ll find your hand locked in mine and together we will make our future shine. I will not promise the expensive pillows to make you sleep at night. But I will guarantee that my arms will be there to hug you tight. And, in my arms, may your eyes shut with utter pleasure every single night… Today, I want you to know this, that your smile is my only Sunshine, Your ever glowing face is my full moon. And, the ever fluttering big glowing eyes are my glittering stars.. My love, if today, you catch my hand and whisper in my heart that you love me, then, I will need no particular day as Valentine’s day to love you and express myself. Because with you beside me every day will be my special day. Every day will be my Valentine’s day. Every day I will love you. I promise that.

Do it quickly, God forgive me Her eyes drifted dreamily His teeth worked against her neck Lord of the flies, favor me now ... had already pooled in it, something viscid and alive I am the resurrection of death He's undead, Ben We must go through bitter to taste the sweet blood. Now your end. LET ME GOOOOOOO---- and the blood that pulsed from his chest turned black Look out! You killed the master! I'll be back They were in the streets, the walking dead They go crazy on the inside.

'Salem's Lot
In the wild soft summer darkness How many and many a night we two together Sat in the park and watched the Hudson Wearing her lights like golden spangles Glinting on black satin. The rail along the curving pathway Was low in a happy place to let us cross, And down the hill a tree that dripped with bloom Sheltered us, While your kisses and the flowers, Falling, falling, Tangled in my hair. . . . The frail white stars moved slowly over the sky. And now, far off In the fragrant darkness The tree is tremulous again with bloom For June comes back. To-night what girl Dreamily before her mirror shakes from her hair This year’s blossoms, clinging to its coils?

Summer Night, Riverside
Blue hills yet again beacon in a language my spirit understands so very well. I trek alone, prompted by the  most sublime love brimming in my being that makes my life less of a puzzle. dreamily I move following in my mind a subtle music that seems to me is the greatest reward above all else in this world. No method to value its worth is yet invented, is there a need? The path winds up I drink  foaming green with my eyes, jungle orchids of various kind, play their orchestra blending fragrances with finesse. the music playing in my mind, merges with it; real magic is within us yet again I realize. Two jungle babblers catch my eye, cuddling closely preening each other In a world so deceptive I cannot but wonder: a love so mature or a parting gesture? I ponder a moment, in silence about the vagaries of life before my ascent.

A trek uphill alone
Black shadows fall From the lindens tall, That lift aloft their massive wall Against the southern sky; And from the realms Of the shadowy elms A tide-like darkness overwhelms The fields that round us lie. But the night is fair, And everywhere A warm, soft vapor fills the air, And distant sounds seem near; And above, in the light Of the star-lit night, Swift birds of passage wing their flight Through the dewy atmosphere. I hear the beat Of their pinions fleet, As from the land of snow and sleet They seek a southern lea. I hear the cry Of their voices high Falling dreamily through the sky, But their forms I cannot see. Oh, say not so! Those sounds that flow In murmurs of delight and woe Come not from wings of birds. They are the throngs Of the poet’s songs, Murmurs of pleasures, and pains, and wrongs, The sound of winged words. This is the cry Of souls, that high On toiling, beating pinions, fly, Seeking a warmer clime. From their distant flight Through realms of light It falls into our world of night, With the murmuring sound of rhyme.

Birds Of Passage
*If I told you I am afraid of dust that catches in places where I am tired Would you still find me so amazing and fun? If I said what I think to those who have ears to hear When I looked into your eyes Would I still be the one? If the song I sing tonight is not a soothing lullaby in an upside moon Will you still love me and the melody I create? Because no matter how my song plays; we can move on To all those bright clouds We anticipate If I struggled to find words that washed over your skin like silk That lingered dreamily in the light of your morning Would you still hear the same sweet voice when I am tired And afraid of dust that catches in places On words I am forming*

Afraid of Dust
My roommates are all up and about. It’s finals week and everyone is hustling about. Lisa came in from an early exam, it was snowing lightly, she looked right at home. “How’d it go?” I quizzed. “E-Z,” she replied, shedding her long navy coat and mango cashmere beanie. After dumping it all on her bed she joined us in the common room. “Blue State (coffee) is closing,” She announced. Leong gasped, “What?” “Three of the four Blue State locations are closing,” Lisa confirmed, “not Orange Street.” “Why?” Leong moaned. “What are you why? Lisa queried. “They’re so popular!” Leong exclaimed, “There’s always SO many people in there.” “That’s real,” I chimed in, “those places are packed and noisy.” “They got bought out,” Lisa attested. “By whom?” Leong wondered. “By another coffee company.. maybe,” Lisa guessed soothingly. “Oh, I hope so.” Leong stated, sounding depressed. “You know what? Lisa added, “rumors were thick that Book Trader would close too.” “No!” Leong bemoaned. “I’m happy to announce that they’re not.” Lisa assured, “That’s something to celebrate.” “I love studying at Book Trader.” I professed. “And their bagels..” Leong mentioned dreamily. “Oh, yeah,” Lisa agreed, “so good, so cheap.” “Change is ineluctable,” Anna sighed.   “WHAT?” Leong replied, looking confused. “Inevitable,” Lisa told her, “change is inevitable.” “Then just say that.” Leong grumbled at Anna, who shrugged. “I need to go support my favorite coffee shop soon,” I declared. “Which is?” Leong inquired. “Coffee with a K,” Lisa and I blurted out, both at once. “It has an intimate, date spot vibe,” I explained, “and the chairs that are perfect for putting an arm around someone.” “The Benjamin and Acorn (two on campus coffee shops) are going to be so crowded.” Sunny stated, joining the conversation as she started putting on her shoes to go out. “True THAT.” I agreed. “Common Grounds Cafe,” Sophie revealed, coming from her room, drying her hair with a towel, “bought out Blue State,” she confirmed. “it was in the Yale News.” “OK,” I pronounced, satisfied. “Perfect.” Lisa declared. “Thank God.” Leong agreed. “Coffee’s important.” Sunny proclaimed, picking up her coffee cup and book bag. “See ya!” she waved to the room absently, with her coffee cup, as she opened the door and stepped out.

The afternoon was excessively humid The earth seemed a seething hot furnace Dark clouds were gathering overhead Lightning drew florescent patterns in the sky Thunder boomed and rumbled A few sparse drops of water hit the window pane The air grew dark, leaves shivered Soon the rain pelted down in torrents Drumming on the corrugated tin roofs Spreading a dark curtain between the eye and the sky It poured down in full fury for about an hour In no time it flooded the ditches and hollows But its might slackened and it vanished as quickly As it had come, like a messenger on an urgent errand The day was dying and I witnessed another rain The rain of insects into the sequestered freedom of the night Termites and white ants, sleeping in the hollows Suddenly emerged from their lairs in thousands Out of every crack and cranny, every fissure and hole From under every boulder and brick Winged termites emerged, fluttering about dreamily Never knowing they were on their first and last flight They all flew towards the bright light in the porch But striking against the concrete ceiling They fell down one by one, some losing their wings And creeping on the floor, like wounded warriors A quivering swarm of insects, a clumsily moving mass This was the harvesting time for the geckos In one and two, the lizards emerged from their hide Flicking their tail, they stood ready for the catch With their darting sticky tongue, they began Devouring the insects, hastily cramming their stomachs Until they could hold no more When the insects began invading the inner space I switched off all the lights and went to bed The cool air and the sonorous but rhythmic chants of the frogs Put my sleepy eyes into sound slumber Early morning as I woke up I saw the porch strewn with filmy wings of the termites They lay like scattered chaff after the corn has been stored Also some weak survivors, staggering to their end I thought, to what bleak fate, the exodus of insects Had taken off on their wings for their maiden flight!

Attires of a closer regime, Closed in on the muddling assets of a light, Flickering. On a dead end street, Through a meandering There’s an eventful animus. Past eleven, P.M. “To lobby is to redeem, Apparently(!) For I sin and repeatedly sin.” Only by 1 and only through one Single flock of wind-blown sediment, man acknowledges life and It’s dreadful stripe, Laid upon a landscape; Full of faux images of random schemes. Well, there the ongoingness goes Of moments that are no way chronologic Where one plaster over another Seems like a perfect match. When the clock strikes to 3 A.M Merely a sigh passes along, Yet another minute, On the cold street The light knows no acuity at all. It means for another tick, Yet does not wait for the tock; Tick-tock(!) Tick-tock. There lies 3 hour worth concurrence, Confronted for each tock, for half a minute, But only the seconds pass. And with each skip that matters, and only that matters nevertheless, The clock goes back to Eleven P.M. There(!) the gutter calls for another drink, For another trace On another strike. However mournfully, Escort of a humanly maze, The muddling sort, Births confusion. The attires seem gone by now. The heaves; quite impeccable, The path adopts another protest, For a much tackled breathing Time overlaps,dreamily, On a spectrum, Laying as a single faceted imposture; Mocking a postering of shed upon the pavement. For another street that seemingly differs; where the marching will always depend (Regardless) Solely on the counts of seconds By the potency of motives That merges as to defy The years accounted On the flesh and bone. Now there goes another strike, Audible over the plane And It carries on as “To lobby is to redeem For I sin And sin And sin On a 3-hour worth strike, Starting at 11 P.M, Over another man’s bearing.”

Well, there the ongoingness goes Of moments that are no way chronologic Where one plaster over another Seems like a perfect match. When the clock strikes to 3 A.M Merely a sigh passes along, Yet another minute, On the cold street The light knows no acuity at all. It means for another tick, Yet does not wait for the tock; Tick-tock(!) Tick-tock. There lies 3 hour worth concurrence, Confronted for each tock, for half a minute, But only the seconds pass. And with each skip that matters, and only that matters nevertheless, The clock goes back to Eleven P.M. There(!) the gutter calls for another drink, For another trace On another strike. However mournfully, Escort of a humanly maze, The muddling sort, Births confusion. The attires seem gone by now. The heaves; quite impeccable, The path adopts another protest, For a much tackled breathing Time overlaps,dreamily, On a spectrum, Laying as a single faceted imposture; Mocking a postering of shed upon the pavement. For another street that seemingly differs; where the marching will always depend (Regardless) Solely on the counts of seconds By the potency of motives That merges as to defy The years accounted On the flesh and bone. Now there goes another strike, Audible over the plane And It carries on as “To lobby is to redeem For I sin And sin And sin On a 3-hour worth strike, Starting at 11 P.M, Over another man’s bearing.”

A Poem for June Just why a cucumber should be so cool Eludes the logical; a cucumber’s just A vegetable a-lying on the ground Awaiting consumption.  But let’s accept This vegetarian cliché’ simply To get on with this cool descriptive task: Whatever’s cool in the falling June sun Descends through oak leaves, dark and summer green And dancing down the air falls happily Upon this cool cucumber cave where sits Upon a wooden bench a lazy man Who should be taking now another turn With lawnmower, shovel, or shears against The wild greenness of happy midsummer. But, oh!  Persephone surely won’t mind If her allotted garden tasks are paused By her appointed minion rustic who Takes now his ease in her delightful shade. For summer after all is more than work; She calls for dozing too, and dreamily Watching busy bees buzz among the flowers, Like fussy matchmakers arranging marriages, And hummingbirds humming in and out of leaves, Their sanctuary leaves, to argue at The nectar-feeders, as if there weren’t Enough for all.  The squirrels in the trees Would never condescend to chitter there; They glare at humans disapprovingly, Like old teachers unhappily aware That, oh, somewhere, somehow a child might be Enjoying life, and that would never do! Even the ribbon of smoke from the morning’s Trimmings and cuttings and sawings appears To be taking a nap in the summer noon, There gently snoring up wisps of ashes Instead of roaring, hissing manfully As it did in the early hours.                                                      The bench Along the fence where the tired old man sits Creaks as he shifts his weight, and watches His backyard world doze in the leaf-laced sun; He lights a well-deserved cigar, and sees Its soothing smoke join with the ******* fire Ascending heavenward with peaceful thoughts.

A Cucumber-Cool Cave of Green but without any Cucumbers

Kailasa mountain peaks composed completely of clouds hover mystically across the mauve purple horizon I stare dreamily out the car window this celestial impression arouses a sacred memory that has haunted my consciousness since I first alighted 12,000 feet above sea level onto the blessed Himalayan mountain range I don’t think there is any place like this on earth glaciers hang like huge crystal malas around majestic white bluffs the air ripples, tingles tangibly with spirits of Sages, Saints and other sublime beings ethereal cathedral bells ring brightly in the crisp altitude The road climbing from Badrinath to Vishnu’s auspicious Footprint continues ascending to the very threshold of Heaven everything is just so luminous even the breath filling our lungs shimmers As I travel back in time to that holy place I know a part of me still sits in padmasana aloft those Godly hills through the melting snows spring rains and summer monsoons lost in supreme bliss

Vishnu's Lotus Feet
1. This blue one is my favorite, in the peak of ****** excitement she calls me "Devil" between sweet obscenities and tender bites that lets me decide her species a killer whale she is. 2. I fell in love with this aspect at the very first sight, the easy buoyancy of the cuttle fish, Ah! the delicate squid in my dreams in her transforamtive  rigor of peripatetic desire.Above me she hovers, we are entangled with the strands of clouds. In the soft poetic squid folds, my desires find  discharge. 3. Octopus, oh my perfect metaphor for desire, are you strictly a fish by definition, I muse though a mollusc, who cares, as long as your supple tendrils, know how to touch and arouse allow pleasure to flow through eight ducts, would take you as the equivalent of a bisexual yen in your tight binding  and sucker amour, under water I am the  slave for your pleasure, bleeding amour in equal measure on each embrace. 4. Gold fish is a cliche, but is it  her fault? when  frothing orange morning sun seeps  in to her spacious glass cage she is another rich kid, seeking pleasure and when she sings with her wings dreamily moves, a pendent of Gods she is my longing see the  cliche, yet oh! such  *** appeal, my tactile desire, is more alacritous than being tactical.
