Her Eyes!

I've been tired of people telling me, "Can't you ever write sumthing that doesnot holds pain in it.....it's happy...filled with love as it should be......well, d efforts are never at a loss, it's just that in the struggle of love and pain, my pain has always got the upper hand. However, last nyt was when I had a feeling, I've been longing for......a feeling where my words fail......a feeling when those eyes wakes me up in the middle of the night......the beauty of which I fail to describe.....my words are an ode to those eyes!!!
(Friends I request you to read the poem with its flow, go slow to feel the mystifying beauty of her eyes)

HER EYES

- SAPTADEEP BASU (2011)

Once in a while......

I try to see the world through the prism of your eyes,

Fancy my life with you sometimes....

Seeing the world with your coloured sight.

The lovely brows curls down with a smile,

Flirts with you in their animated style;

Sometimes complaining.....Sometimes questioning;

Pleading you not to stare in those eyes.

As she gazes at the bright blue sky,

Closes her eyes to capture a sight;

Her big eye lashes flutter with the breeze,

It kisses her soul with its sly reach.

Her lids blink with a motion of its own,

Precisely dancing to the tunes forgone;

Mocking at my effort of expressing the song,

That hummed in her eyes & only she had known.

The colour of her eyes held a mystery in it.....

Of a naughty girl or a wise priest;

I hoped I had an answer to it,

For it shattered my dreams & my deep sleep.

Yes, Once in a while.....

I want to see the world through the prism of your eyes;

To know the colour of those eyes that I have described,

For the only colour I know is darkness in my life.
