TWO POEMS

 

Pronab Kumar Majumder

 

MISTAKE

 

It was mild breeze

Passing across me

I thought you whispered

A word for me

 

Intently I kept on waiting

Lest I miss a moment

 

Moments added up

To make the hour of leaving

But no more did I commit

A mistake mistakenly.

 

 

LOVE’S MANTLE

 

I am near the hour of Sundown

The earth gradually puts on dark gown,

Ever youthful and smiling as you are

Will be shining as nocturnal star,

Would you for me light a Candle?

My soul would carry the love’s mantle —
