Poetry from Soumen Roy

PAEAN

I am here 

I will be here 

Now and forever 

An omnipotent name with its sweetest nectar 

They will come and pass by 

The forlorn chair will read the debonair 

Speaking of my love in splashes of seasons  

In the song of the cuckoo 

In the heart of an oasis 

In the shade of the green

In the hues of a skeleton

There sings the rain, wiping the sore of exhaustion 

And the brewing coffee, comforting the cold 

There remains abandonment in an unrecognizable darkness 

And I set myself free on the other side of the window 

The dove flies here with dust of gold 

And the sun kisses my heart before I sleep this night 

The morning sings its eternal notes 

And I continued to dwell in its sheer brilliance 

Nothing has gone, then or ever 

Everything is there, reflecting in its unique chapter.

FLORA AND FAUNA 

Life was never so beautiful as it is now 

Now in this very moment 

In this stillness 

Silent yet full of foam 

Completely detached, being sure of the fruits to come 

When I chose to forgive my own 

Suppressed in agony of unfulfilled desires

It no more fears 

Just a gentle nudge saying it’s okay 

It’s okay to live in this present

So beautiful, like never before when stuff was chased 

Now a celebration that soothes me within 

With peace and contentment 

There smiles the dew over my green this morning 

Singing an ode to the flora and fauna
