I Surprise Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

He was my wife's relative
Died yesterday
In a road accident.
I just came from his funeral …
Where his wife became a widow.

She broke bangles, removed sindur
At the bank of Yamuna river
It's the rule of Hindu religion
She is now of twenty five
And enjoyed married life
only eighteen months.


I surprise
On the role of creator.
He is the owner of
Never ending time
Takes thousand years for
Changing the colour Of a flower,
But sometime does not spare
Few moments for blooming a flower
Completely.
