You came closer, to me--
      But still there was distance,
I fall in love with you,
      As sleep to a fatigue *****!
Perhaps the sky don't need the land,
      In the way you were needed to me;
Perhaps the moon-lit-light is not so loving to a dark night sky;
      As you were to me!
Wishing to speak and behold your hand once again,
      But it is a love, which is never to begin.
I seemed to have been collided with your fragrance,
      And forget about all my sadness!
I began to make a 'necklace of poems' for you, that you took as a gift,
       And in a return gift, that age-old pain,
My spellbound heart had received!
       I even forgot the way of coming back,
While having a walk with you...
       And now you left me alone here,
Writing something like my name,in the sands of your love.
       Our incomplete love, will not be completed ever,
       And you become an image,
What I'll remember forever.
               _Sougat Dasgupta.

I tried to forget you, a many times
    But each time, I was merged with your memories,
I tried to go beyond your sight,
     But I found myself, surrounded by your memories.
The more I tried to go far from you,
    The more, I was going far from my own soul!
Why can't I forget you,
     Why can't I erase my past?
What bonding is this--
     That never let me to doubt on my trust?
I tried to deny, your 'gift of tears',
     But my feelings didn't let me to--
And when, I tried to forget you,
     My promises never let me to...
            __ Sougat Dasgupta.

How long should I remember you?
                 How long should I wait!
I don't know,where I lost myself in you,
                   And never found me back!
And from when I started loving you,
                    Nor how and when--
It seemed, we had no ending,
           and nothing to say,like good bye,
And for that, I still wonder- why?
Till today, my ears are waiting to hear your songs,
My eyes long for to witness your smile
And your that sweet voice, spellbounds my heart!
But how long should I be afloated in your thoughts,
       And how long should I wait?
      __ Sougat Dasgupta.

Touch the elixir of fire, to my soul,
     To set out my final tour!
Let me 'take wing' to deep of the air,
Let you light the lamp, with a devotional care;
And stay there, to welcome me---
I'm coming to have my eternity!
Let my pyre, be burning for long,
Untill I may hear your last song....
Let the flame of the pyre, be an emitter,
To illuminate the night of darker.
At the time, I'll leave,
May there be no mourning or grief...
May the way of my leaving be so peerless,
That, I may usher a new journey to the endless.
Let the vim of my pyre be so mighty,
That it may clear all the ambiguity;
And burn all my vainglory!
It's the time, of getting rid of all my pain,
And fulfillment of a dream;
That, When I may meet you again?
              __ Sougat Dasgupta.

I do still remember, our walk,
  In every morning and evening,
How very winded path, together we have decided,
  Keeping our hand to hand of each other,
    Having an embarrassment in together,
Two fresh mind was roaming freely in the air.

How lovely, was my childhood,
     filled with the memories of loves and brabbles,
But, why do I love you, in my memories-- so immense?
   and why do I still wonder,
That I've lost you forever?

Why the childhood love always losts,
      by the increasing age?
why the list of my losing is getting so longer,
     And oh! For that I really wonder.

Something must have been changed,
          either me or you,
Or may even the time,
But, for that why our love spotted with grime?

We even don't know today, where we are now?
  But on your that sorrow,
I had my part also!

In this running life, in an inch of place,
You will never find me again,
And I even may won't search for you, once again!

You are may be doing well.....
      and I'm not also bad!
Yet, in the core of my heart,
You are always remembered.
And sometimes, I still wonder,
    How I lost you forever?
