Poet -Mamoni Sharma

Grasp 

In every face-to-face encounter,

A breeze of collective happiness flows,

In every pause, there grows

The vermilion longing of imagination.

​The incomprehensible dialogues 

from Jatayu's throat,

I preserve those too, with careful grace,

They say the language of tangled images

Can be softened by a poem’s embrace.

​Within the dense depths of my darkness,

Herds of restless fawns dance incessantly,

Yet, the words are silent, the language is mute.

​I seem to have drifted apart

Still, I build a new sky every day.

No, there is no exchange in return,

Spring does not arrive just because a flower blooms.

​That is what I wonder

Why do the birds of human imagination

Fly to such soaring heights?

The sky that possesses not a trace of color,

They paint its shroud

Surely, with the colors of their own mind.
