Seasons

 Autumn


When the autumn reaches

a strong storm blows from the north

water of lake turns very cool suddenly

And my melancholy soon darkens 

beyond the point I can hide.


Night start falling early day by day 

Old terrace of my house gradually

carpeted with fallen leaves of plum and pears 

School going students will pull out 

Full sleeve sweater from cupboard

Damp and dark stones of my backyard

Will get back those lizards and leaches 

who went beneath the earth during rain.


Those friends who visited me in warm summer 

Will disappear soon towards lowland 

And for me the gloom autumn sets in.









                                                 

 Spring 


I saw your tall silhouette

behind the red oleander tree

Oh my Nilakshi Parveen Mita!

I smelt aroma of Hasnuhana

from your plated hairline 

And thy contours of face 

Thy dark eyelashes, thy eyebrow

Thy nose, thy beads of perspiration 

And dual concupiscent thy lips.


Over the vale near bank of kopotaksha

you swayed your red oar.

My world turned red and 

I welcomed the spring.








Winter


Hills of the  mighty Himalaya

appeared in your both eyes 

It sprinkled white frost 

over your black hair bun, 

on your nose tip, red cheeks 

and on thy all  numb finger

Oh! Let's welcome sweet winter!


Your both legs are laden 

While I shouldered your dream 

Promise to have rendezvous 

In the moonlit night near the stream.

Your tremulous lips allude obliquely

to have a warm lip lock together 

Oh! Let's welcome the winter.


You walked passed frozen Dale 

When the sky had its crescent moon 

Thy silhouette I saw in moonlight 

to thee icy winter would bemoan

Near the Dale we spent the night together

Oh! Let's welcome the loving winter.





Summer 


Nature will herald you Nilakshi Parveen 

over Greenwood, under the blue sky 

Draped in your cobalt blue sari of chiffon 

And a dangling blue oar framed by

all love we made over the year

Clinging our arms to each other.

Beads of perspiration from your cleavage 

Gave me courage to take an entourage 

Deep inside the splendour in contour

Those soft curves behind your blue oar

love bird will fly dearly with its wing

Both of us will melt in feverous fingering 

Nature will withheld you until we finish dear 

Horizon would whisper near, it is summer !
