The Savior – Poetry from Bengal

I’m the last avatar of this incarnation

No more game, no more foul play

No more story of hatred and betrayal are allowed!

A life-long devotee of Swami Vivekananda, Suhina is against any discrimination. Two significant life-forces propel her – ‘love’ and ‘writing’. Suhina’s book ‘Tumi’ (you) and Songs of Silence (A Journey to Love), are collections of her poetic thoughts.[/author]

 

 

The Savior

I’m always with my god

Every now and then when you see and whisper

Watch and wonder or wait and conspire

In my solitude or among your madding crowd

I’m just with my god

Enjoying their company

Feel their protection

They empower me and I become stronger and stronger

Become loud and proud

Become poet and prophet

 

Now I’m ready

Ready for the show

Touch me crush me or fire

I’m the last avatar of this incarnation

No more game, no more foul play

No more story of hatred and betrayal are allowed

In the next session

 

Change is coming, the desired one, as you create once

Graves are calling

Now it’s your turn to decide how that would be

A peaceful sovereign one or……

Choice is yours

 

Let me enjoy the nature, let me flirt

I’m always with my god

Throughout this journey from cradle to heart!

01-Subash-Chander-BoseA Tribute to My Heroes

Well, don’t misunderstand me

Don’t think I don’t have feelings for him or

For others whom you salute offer incense and garland,

I see

On the table wrapped with the white table cloth like that of a coffin,

A copper flower vas hugs a bunch of flowers as some unknown hungry young get shelter….

And some beaming faces…. look at a portrait

The proud tri-color moves

 

Does it dance?

Or swim

Or fly and wish to soar high?

 

What does it think?

Does it wish to touch the blue leaving the

Dirt and dust

Perhaps!

Perhaps not

 

I see

Sitting beside the broken tap and fallen lamp post I see

The tri–color, the golden smiles of those budding bubbles,

The portrait smiles from the glass–chamber

 

I feel .I feel others too.

I wish I could give a golden‐speech

But

No one is anywhere to allow me

Please, don’t misunderstand me

Trust me, as I trust you

Believe me, still I believe you

I respect them too just like you

But…!
