The Frontier of Sense

The heart burns- how much in pain

How much in grief,

Zulaikha knew all in black and white

In the bones of time.

Kirtinasha has no repentance

A murderer owns no mercy,

Matsyanyaya (Disorder) has always been there

Mahalaya (Great abode) is on his shoulder

Jesus sits on the dead donkey

Crying has no language,

He is lying on the tip of the cross

For the salvation of human being.

The maiden who offers rainbow

To the earth as a gift,

Because of her love may be

The world lasts till today.

There is no gang of devotees

But good sense of the tree,

No heroes ever took

Any revenge being lover.
