Poetry from Soumen Roy

Lonely River 

**********

A poetry that sang in the heart long ago 

The love still echoes 

The only change I see is that which is constant 

They came and left my courtyard 

Lonely, I was, so I am today 

But something changed within me 

A huge shift, perhaps, that had changed my perspective 

From where I see today without expecting outcomes 

I walk alone, detached 

They believed they have isolated me 

And I thank them for being generous 

I grew in silence; isolation was never a curse 

It’s a blessing for me, 

my flow holds my courage 

Completely unshakable, defining my spirit 

Unique and indomitable 

Ethereal Song 

I fight with the time 

that lied so many times 

Whispering another lie each time 

Though it appeared so real like a mirage 

But my camel refused to give up 

My youth never demanded a flawless skin 

A skin destined within its flawlessness 

There gleamed my eternal spring 

And there sang the migratory birds together 

The gates of past were closed forever 

Welcome to vibrance of every season 

They sang the most sonorous notes 

Lifting my reborn spirit 

Its never too late, give it a try 

Tomorrow it will definitely be a sunrise
