The Fog Poem by Amitava Chakraborty

The grey fog pulls its veil in shyness
As a dejected widow wraps in white dress.
The light winged droplets claims their permanency
Challenging chivalry & truth of the sun’s supremacy.

Till you remember your mighty companion
Ever fresh & glowing as the rising sun,
Once met & wooed your tender hand
Was an uncanny fog there at that dreamland.

Unwanted was king’s treasure in your hut, wee;
Who didn’t desire but everlasting peace in the family of three?
But alas! God loved your sweet heart young
Fatal accident in dense fog ceased the love song.

Why such unspoken fear grows in mind today?
When dressed in school uniform standing your little lad in gay?
Peeped hope with the pale sun through obscure vision
Soon will disappear fog for a new expedition.
