Two Poems by Anushna Biswas

 


BURNT OUT WORDS

 

Amazingly many words burn to ashes

Good and bad times follow suit

Stream of life in burning pyre

Red flower tree sparkling in spring

Many murmurs melt in heat

String of words drop inside the nook of mind

At this hour don’t know what to say in dark shade

Myself is burning alone in silence.



YET TO BE REALIZED

 

It can happen

Yes, it can happen

But nothing emerges

In the fold of time

Innumerable insects move around

The container is a rotten state

A nasty rot spreading further and wide

But look everybody maintains silence

 

It could happen

But it did not

New birth in golden mould

Escapes our dream.
