Tryst Poem by Sankar Sarkar

1
When war will be over
Lockdown will be no more
Procession will not spiral
Strikes will not afflict life
Kids will not cry for breast
We shall meet anywhere else then!

2
When air will stop stinking
Of the half burnt dead body
And carrying the yelp of bereft souls,
When grass will sprout
Beneath the heaps of the dead
New hopes will peep into broken hearts
We'll meet anywhere else then!

3
When technology will salute archeology
Modernity will reciprocate theosophy
Science will take up new venture
When cosmology and divinity
Will triumph over the ultimatum
When life will feel secure on stepping
In every vein of this soil
We'll feel meet anywhere else then!

4
When air will be stainless
No pestilence will kiss the air
Ambience will exude cosmic fragrance
Stars will fall off like flowers
To greet new and old visitants
We'll meet anywhere else then!

5
The world that way meets the sky
The moon that way meets the sea
The sail that way meets the wind
The path that way meets the horizon
The river that way meets the estuary
We'll meet anywhere else then!

6
When streets will stop sobbing in dark
When no vultures will fly in the sky
When no famished dogs will groan
When nude gods will sing of veracity
And world will feel love beneath her skin
We'll meet anywhere else then!

7
When ailing world will stop bickering
And move ahead with curse
Pains and worries for centuries
Nobody knows what mystery is in her!
When the East and the West
Will look up in love and amity
And the North and The South
Will glide down infinity with glee
We'll meet anywhere else then!

8
When the rising sun will write
Poem on the wings of couds,
When the space will scatter
The integral melody upon the world
The slumbered souls will rouse
In every dust to hail a new world,
Stars or blisters
Whether in person or in persona
We'll meet anywhere else
In this world as trust!
