REVELATION UNBOUND

By Sukhendu Parui

No baby ever cries,

 

Heart melts for tears in their eyes

 

Oh, never make a baby cry.

 

No corpse breathes

 

What delight in the funeral pyre

 

Ha-ha-wind rushes in—

 

Stunned silence mourning whispers around

 

The body utter ruins

 

Enjoys – make living abode.

 

No child ever laughs --

 

Overwhelmed by the billow moonlight

 

As if the tidal wave hits the chest

 

Bravo - let the children  laugh ;

 

No  corpse ever dies –

 

Even never groans-make any cry

 

Though wonderful pain-dyed light of eyes--

 

Sees, as if penetrates all secrets

 

All  tricks  sneaking - unfair cunning-

 

……………………………………………………..CONTD…(2)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 (2) …Revelation unbound

 

 

Unbearable boldness ;

 

Let that unwinking gaze be stopped

 

The lone terrible smile,  scentless sorrow.

 

Yet in his youth, as if he was ‘Atlas’

 

The apple of hunger is another's morsel

 

 Frenzy ability to time-pass,

 

Sorry -  to manage the task.

 

Exactly the minutes' respect—

 

Stay with a lump of food.

 

Oh - the youths are as good as dead

 

Living  like a corpse  :

 

As we all may be like the children-

 

Sometimes steadily fluent

 

When opened the door bolt-

 

The chain remains...

 

By the scratching of time, alert

 

Hesitancy wavering doubt –

 

Grows the invisible veil —

 

……………………………………..CONTD… (3)

 

 

 

 

(3)………Revelation un-bound

 

 

The nature's pure light,

 

No one is a child.

 

Oh Jesus, whom you have forgiven,

 

They don’t know what they have done

 

That disciple is selfish, mean, greedy, and dishonest

 

Others are blind  like Satan

 

Collapse the naughty cry --

 

O’Lord, this punishment is hellish,

 

Does not bring peace in the soul-

 

We are not children

 

No baby ever cries.

 

Is it then in the throes of cognition, an outburst of emotion?

 

In the heart, in the mind, in the light of tears-laughter?

 

Happiness and sorrow comforts in success and failure ;

 

Accumulated knowledge more than money –smart,

 

Gradually in the developed body limbs  are fit

 

Lips, nails, tongue, teeth are fine

 

Dependent on sordid thoughts,

 

Living on hatred up to the throat

 

……………………………..CONTD…(4)

 

 

 

(4)… Revelation unbound

 

 

Manner-less dress and regular suicides

 

Monotony tired, so even

 

Pleasure changes its form –Intelligence,

 

The comfort of a little tobacco smoke, 

 

The comfort of feeling  flavors of time,

 

This is the price of a lifetime.

 

Let be ever long all play,

 

All elements of satisfaction –

 

The gap is for dreaming and watching.

 

The daily sweeping and filling low land, 

 

Soil  that frozen

 

After doorframe  is ill-omen

 

And in  the heart  -thy Lord,

 

In the play, regret, repent,

 

In our dialogue, our senses moan in surprise,

 

That truly we cry, the child never cries :

 

In the power of happiness, as if never floated,

 

Paralyzed tears or salted sweat – not lust

 

Abundant scarcity- the innocent is responsible ;

 

 

………………………………………………………CONTD..(5)…

 

 

 

 

(5)……. Revelation Unbound

 

 

Only the lack seems to be endless

 

Suddenly, only happens when the old wisdom teaches

 

As if  illegible simple funny :

 

It’s  a body –you - a corpse  only

 

It doesn't matter as far away from  all worldly things—

 

Requiring nothing simply no need to caring

 

bare faith engrossed in mere bliss—

 

Those who live to make expression :

 

Do not place metal jug without worship,

 

The bell rings only with a plate of bell metal -

 

There is no life without lifestream-

 

Death is a must– of course necessary-

 

Blessed with the power of increasing ever-flowing

 

Drinking nectar and poison from the same vessel,

 

The real God is revealed un-bond the time lyrics,

 

Some relations are deep diamonds in the center

 

And that sense confers the eternal human living-

 

The nature life -the singing iconic.
