Poetry from Prasanna Kumar Dalai

NIGHT OF THE AUTUMN!

Where will there ever be such a night

A starry night is lost in your thoughts 

And after a while you often get tired

This night of autumn will never return 

This glorious time will stay stagnant 

The waves always sing a soft melody

The wet winds will carry a cold fire 

To sing the glory of life in different tune

Let your heart be open to speak up now

The autumn will always fade away

Telling your story in shades of night

Never will the night come back again.

 QUEEN OF THE NIGHT!

The mystical moonlight of forest 

In the coziness of shadow and mystery 

In the dreams of body and mind

The lady night comes to sense

The loving swan is lost in her dreams

Returns with the songsters of spring

When the sun sets in the evening 

On the path covered by canopy of trees

With waves of the fascinated ocean

The flute keeps on giving her a call

Queen of the night looks for her beloved

Here is the holy echo of the tunes.

IF I STAY BACK NOW!

Leave not , my heart is not satiated yet

You did just arrive and the spring set in

Let the air hold your fragrance for hours

Let my gaze wander in and around you

Let the evening gradually deepen more 

That my heart can calm down and settle 

Let me live a while when stars do shine

The lamps are lit too ; forbid me never

If I stay back now , I can never go again 

Let my emotions at your cherubic glance 

Spread the wings for they may fade soon

With your thirst and yearning unquenched.

ONLY THOSE WORDS!

What was on my heart is to be told

Do secretly give ears to those words 

Say not everything that can’t be said

But all kinds of feelings never forget

I have refined myself because of you

The heart too needs be more polished 

Do spread your silver hair in fiery sun

The kohl on eyes has driven me crazy

The veil is rather all soaked with rain 

You are my moon covered by clouds

For the heart does not listen to soul

Just wants to let it go without reason.
