Chandrani Dutta Das Poems

On some fine day when the sun goes down,
The birds fly back to their homes
to their little ones, waiting eagerly
for their return.
...

Its Winter all around and me..
Cold winds come migrating,
To steal away all the warmth
That was still there in traces in me..
...

O bird of heaven, answer my quest,
Why did you come to me once more?
I was happy in my desert,
It had no oasis but it had no mirage,
...

Hours had I spent waiting for your arrival,
Hoping but to view a single glimpse of you,
I am the same old one I was the day afore,
Yet your vision makes me feel fresh and new.
...

The first few hours of my day
I lived with smile, I lived with glee,
And the fool in me thought;
Life is beautiful and it's easy to be happy.
...

Is this a dream the where we are?
Eyes open wide yet unaware
Of what it would be like when we cease.
...
