Salvation Poem by Vivek Haldar
Salvation
When my suffering is unending
how can you attain salvation
What if i escape this birth
and never meet you again
It will form only illusion of
my low birth
In those great oceans
my caste has drowned
and my birth has been washed clean
I am afraid of nothing now
I will never bring you to my side
I will never cast my spells at you
My longing will not draw you anymore
and even if it does
i will be as dead as a life less leaf
You are unclean as me
and you won't taint the outer world
with your unclean presence
Yet the earth is too hot for your feet!
Why you sit outside in the Jaith sun after all
Did i tell you which caste i belonged to?
I guess i did
But, it changed your course after all
Don't humiliate me
as humiliation is a sin than self-murder
What are these words for you?
Have i given you the honor for quenching my thirst
You said that water is the same for everyone
and people eat the same food
My heart had been dancing ever since
and you brought me death in form of words
Those words of great wonder turned me
as a flower of a poison plant!
I will let you raise that truth
and i will let you take it to your bosom
Your beauty left no meaning with in me
I fear no longer
except to sink back again
and to forget myself again
and to enter into my house of darkness
and now i understand that
it was the write of the destiny
no one can undo that
but i will not delude myself with self humiliation
Where is the light and radiance that used to be
How worn, how faded do we look
and yet my unfinished love kept writing poems
in order to wear away my pain
