A Galaxy In Old Album Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

She looks at me with that lusty youthful smile
Happy to be hunted out in daylight
From her permanent abode in the treasure box
Fully enjoying the remorse shimmering my eyesight!

She looks unreal like an alien from a land too far
Frozen in that mocking smile in prime's full vigor
Proud to have made her place in forever love's mime
Occupying a chunk of me a part of space time!

A wave of desire passes through me bleeds anew the scar
I let her go couldn't possess her damn I still love her
Or is it that lump of fire still burns alive inside
That years cannot extinguish time's layers cannot hide!

She lives there in full moon's glory right beside me
Shining light of a dead star in old album a galaxy
That in June sky on the meridian waits for my eyes
Wakes with the grass flower blooms with the sunrise!

Young lovers I beg of you once you love never dither
Before summers pass you by come winter the leaves wither
Hold hands tight not let them go travel in love that far
Where you rue not like me in blurred eyes damn I still love her!
