Poetry from Sayani Mukherjee

Simple

Ruins among saplings
A crescent washed glow
Global apothecary, time's healer
Crashed out in 
Woolen sweaters. 
Disasters gravity's rainbow
A Forlorn runaway train
A crumpled cup of waiting
Soon muzzles out. 

A thin beat of a shy evening
They all called her. 
Now the words are naked 
Unzipped motion
Cinema like it moves away
Ties the gift in a parcel
A matchbox to keep the little roses safe
Laced pearled of few words
A minimalist safebox
Frees the burden 
In little simple emotions. 

Solace
By Sayani Mukherjee

Nascent images booned 
My brewed morning 
With words as if fragmented clothes
I thought,
They will play with me-
A criss cross algorithm
Between simplicity and public vain
And then will appear
A blessed halo
And silver whispers 
that will somehow ring by my side
With nightshades and soft clouds-
A brimful of common poetry. 

Because, only I know the voice
Natural, unscarred within
And the serene utterance
As it colours the morning prayer. 
Then, a cradled shadow
A wet dripped morning, 
Raindrops two or three, 
And a cottage of green simplicity. 

The rugged path will be my destiny
It is not just worldly wisdom 
for my wishy washy tale 
But my whimsy haze
And my romantic spree
An eternal wish for an April spring
With my brewed morning
And my winged pen 
Leading my green path 
Towards my bundled sky
And a grim, earthy solace.

Violence
By Sayani Mukherjee 

Wanderings amidst snow cradled stairs
Lily footed innocence
A lighthearted Soaking
A Feather-like elusive disarray. 

Then a leopard at night
Humanoid force
The violence is foggy 
My tainted mirror sees it
The masks of forked paths
A string, a right left child's play. 

After a nanosecond speed
The bullet proof vest 
Marching through
For virtue
Death and dreaming
Glassinobs scented handkerchief
Shorting of breaths 
Death over death's bosom. 

The power of a couplet
The pinching truth 
Salty with each throb. 
The leopard runs deep down
Forests and pillars
Authority holds the shadow
The sceptical insomnia
A sharp finish
Morphine sleep, time's hole. 

Hours hold on. 
The river runs through 
Shadows and bones
Chess game and vigilant mistress
A dark hell with my resistance. 
I can't lie with the River. 
It sees through
A wise grandmother and a woolen muffler. 
Coils the structure
Men with law enforcement
Country's growth spurt. 
The children feed on
Winds and brain smoked intelligence. 
The play is ironic. 
A blind stare. 

Aborigines instincts a creepy vestibule
The river rings on
A music to ears
Lily footed innocence
It holds the strings alright
A juggler. 
Mass extinction
Nature's yearnings
A blood dripping amazonian finish. 
It devours. 

Poetry from Sayani Mukherjee

Autumn
By Sayani Mukherjee

Mayhem of Autumn. 
Soul expanding bliss 
In evening hours 
Grey waistcoats, lined seconds. 
A silent peace
Seeing things as should be;
Borderlands of tingy maturity
The misshapen afterthought
Liberty passed a glance
As soft hours do, 
Asking for chance. 
Velvet purple glow 
End of dripping down
Carrying the waste to the stream 
Purging a clean slate 
Coming ocean folded spasms
Evening sparrows
Grey twilight 
Twinkling in a brown pot. 
Unison and festivities
Erasing borders
Autumn, an old friend
Warm hospitality
Unzipped 
Intimate snuggy goodness
As a big brother
A silent bliss of an evening
The purple zone.


Poetry from Sayani Mukherjee

Peach
By Sayani Mukherjee

Peaches for summers 
Easy going smooth finish. 
Drilling of my internals 
I deny in small whispers. 
Quiver a word a little too bold
As the climax turns up-
After all those
Unspoken unspoiled earthings
When the room gets too much exposed
I put on 
Aromatic screens facades 
Goldfishes a little bit safe 
To draw up 
An innocent plaything like a peach. 
To shut down
Testing the waters when the crowd drops on. 
At the midnight quake
A little quibble, a dripping of dew. 
Inhaling innuendos
Amidst a thorny rose
The peach does its job. 

Poetry by Sayani Mukherjee

August
By Sayani Mukherjee


There's a craze over August
The eighth month
To show the face of it a little more bright
Wooden floors upon the high end beach
Nutty glowed tapered tales
Of coming undone a little more
The Indian summer has a dark end
Murky milky fidgety way
The snakes hide that way
In a little hole of August
A ceremonial end
To suck the letters
In a peephole
Let the month do the reading
As I unhinged my gate
To look over winter break. 

Poetry from Sayani Mukherjee

Unison
 By Sayani Mukherjee

Sugar palm hands  
Of a bohemian soul
Need jagged patting
To keep a straight face. 
A mahogany beach and oomph 
Of nothingness
Squabbles hard over 
Empty nothings. 

What do i seek now
Do i think in music? 
As happens within 
An earthen pot
The pure sunken smell
Jellyfishes, coconuts
A slippery witch 
And two quarters of
A ghetto revolution? 
Fathomless and 
Disreputable
A slow moving sensational pitch
As happened in jazz blues
The stringing soulful siren
A collective unison
For peace and justice
Human endeavours on earth like tree. 
Over two three degrees
And office clad suits
Cats and dogs game
A material show buzz
Of a pitching ballad. 


Poetry from Sayani Mukherjee

Hibiscus
By Sayani Mukherjee

A yellow blur. 
The sea swans forth
The home saddles with
Moon thistle and silver spread gleam. 
A token of nudge at the door
A little grief over lost poems 
Of losing a decades high 
A family of past remembrance
Locked up in acrylics of 
Pomegranate smudged souls;
A lace curled up
Full of feminine rhymes. 

It's my penmanship to own 
Loose disjointed freestyles
Like a dove, an alcove, a pine tree. 
The untrodden nudges 
At the peak end 
A forest full of mystery
A theatrical stance 
Over the old bright city 
A fancy out of space and while
Casually misfit, a tropical cloud. 

Too much showers drown the island in me
Then suck with Pansies and whims 
Two poles of wide apart 
In the middle, a threadbare silence
A red string of millions
Footsteps, raspy echoes, an old lane
Illicit with bright red longing. 

I clasp a hibiscus
In the middle a bright ruby red
The house clasps knot
A light within
A full moon fall
A yellowed red dance.
