Sharbaniranjan Kundu Poems

When our mother's sister came to town
we were so happy that our mother's sister
would be close by at hand.
Having grown in this distant place
...

When you are around me
I know you never forget your first kiss.
You try to gauge from time to time
at occasions opportune
...

Taslima, you are going beyond.
I admired you, one so bold.
The talk about male dominated society made me linient.
I was never happy with those who guarded religion
...

For such a long time I was running a temperature.
Just a little.
It was not exactly a malaise,
not an infection of some sort,
...

I was brought up in pure faith
like the truth of the pole star.
So innocent, I doubted nobody.
I didn't know whatever I was taught
...

I was in the portico.
She passed the road by.
A perfect lass.
Mid height,
...

I have had a tough life so far.
I can not imagine I shall have an easier ever.
The time has passed.
The momentous moments will never come by again.
...

My beloved is not an overnight dream.
It grew bit by bit
as my body and mind took shape
for the persoonhood I was destined to be
...

The world view was clean
like the September sky
and satisfaction was brimming
like the full Bengal lakes and rivers
...

When do they try to look their best?
To draw others towards them?
To show their superiority?
To have a winning stake
...
