Basab Mondal: Poetry (Life, Cognition and Creativity)

Basab Mondal

Obituary 

Dew,like embers 

spark and vanish,on the

green undergrowth, which is

bathed by the slanting light 

of the half-eaten moon.

The puddle of hope

hiding deep in the 

murky diaspora of my broken heart,

tries to break,the shackles 

of obscurity. 

But dissolves 

in the palimpsest of time.

***

The call

I try to comprehend 

what the bees 

murmur to the flowers.

The nectar being robbed, 

the flowers dance

unperturbed.

Staring at my,

small terrace garden

feasty with bright foliage,

I love cleaning my false eyelashes 

trying to become 

a vagabond at heart.
