Three poems by Shekhar Dev

A Sharp Dark

I have created some dreams 
And a prayed trench with sharp dark in hand
The combative mind in tune 
Exult with ancient light 
The lost love revives in indifferent behave.

Your smooth bed is yearning
Drunken bird in upcoming uncertainty of fire
Suddenly return in available beauty 
Wherein boundless recreation
And a magic body colored with water melon.

Oh dear, don’t give forbidden pain
With the name of Radha
Taking sharp vermilion in your forehead
Set free the balloon of fire that flames up slowly.
Perhaps, it will fly in as ash 
In the night of separation
To give a sharp dark.



The Gloomy Heaven

Dark gathers before sunset. I have thought what a corporate cataract comes
in my eyes! Rubbing eyes with hand, I have entered in the primal hole with
sun in armpit. Grown moon and Helium star are glimmering in hole. The
goddess of Binoy has been caught in strange art. A fairy put off her colorful
resources in love of dark. Drunken fairy with great wine said, why my body
collapse with your touch? Oh sunken man, don’t touch me dear, just drink.




South and West

My south cries restlessly, dreams call from west. A brave tune spread all
around, give her some from them. Beautify my hand with tiny colored
flower and sweet smell. Nights are lightening with glow-worm of inner pain.
Dam-breaking boundless waves swing a ship of mind. Mind said what
fragrance do you get from ear-drop of Karnafuly? I have a great empire in
sky but society. I find eternal haven exchanging your mind. I am innocent
hearing the south, Nights stay up after passing days and nothing comes in
fix. Months are floating away, years lost, increasing narcissism. The
sleeping bird opens her eyes, future is appeared. Pavement will be created
with dense smile if the love is true.
