Poetry from Manik Chakraborty

Love without tears

I have built a house on the desert sands 

My chest is filled with lamentation, 

Love without tears is a dream of broken happiness. 

The firefly bird in the darkness 

Is flying in search of light, 

The fire of treachery burns gunpowder 

My heart is burning. 

Seeing the glow in the blue sky 

A bird awake at night, 

Waiting for it to come, 

I live daily looking for the way. 

The artist is painting a picture in the folds of her red saree, 

That lost magic 

Is calling me closer
