Three Poems by Anushna Biswas

 

FIREFLIES

 

Fireflies blink on mirror

Dusk rolls down the floor

Lizards puzzled on wall

See I the shadow unfurl

 

In solitude I live

Not my will

My life derailed long back

 

Day often looks black

Fate I believe not

It may sound to others hot.

 

 

NORWESTERS

 

Now is the time of big storm

As standard heat zooms high

We are in a climate we

Cannot defy

 

Land and sea locked in unity

Awaiting rude blast over homes

And forests

April is the cruelest month

In maxmal heat we display our wrath

 

We up our hands

Comes the huge blast

Huge storm fetches giant thrust

Our frail windows unhinge off

On rain-laden earth.

SEA-SIDE

 

Sun and moon

Goes out gloom

Earth and sky

Plays in soul joy

 

Sea and sand

Sea-gulls land

In midst of crowd

Ball rolls round

 

Dark drops lower

Fair is over.
