Poet Pronab Kumar Majumder And His Rimi Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

A departure from his theme of time-orientation
And conciousness,
Time mechanical, time worldly,
The watchman and the time-keeper,
Rimis take us into a different world of their own,
Rimi a modern girl,
A saleswoman, a beautician, a homekeeper,
Keeps the thing going,
Taking the world into the stride of her own,
Rimi coming, seeing, serving, glancing, watching
And serving
And going away to attend.

At the market place in the off-time of hers,
At the office centre,
Into the busy moments of life,
She maintaining and managing the things
With her managerial experience,
With her kind caress and nursing,
Seeing herself and others too
At the same time of engagement,
Sparing it all for them too
Who look up to her in expectation.

Rimi is symbolic of the words
Of kind tenderness and sweet love,
Quite sympathetic and affectionate,
A phoenix of love,
The myth and mystery of love,
A girl caring and loveful,
Responsible and dutiful,
Loveful and sweet-hearted,
The wisp and whiff of romanticism,
The flair and infatuation with.

The flame of love is there
Though the hunger and thirst for it is not,
Rimi is love psychic,
A painting of universal love
Irrespective of sensual love
Or carnal desire,
Rimi is Rimi,
A Blakian innocent and ignorant girl,
A Lucy Gray of Pronab,
A portrait of a girl,
A quest after beauty as it is in Joyce’s Araby.
