A Pallet of Thoughts

A Pallet of Thoughts
by
Barnali Saha

A pallet of thoughts
A garland of emotions
A thousand imagery of faded dreams
gloat like dried leaves of winter
I have a world to care about
Thousand feeling to heed to
But often in the middle of the tale
I forget about myself
My own identity, specter thin
sick and ill with ignorance
As I care about what is around I forget about myself
Soon I will breathe the last breath
Soon to rest I will go
Caring about the universe
While forgetting my own place.

Ode to my sister

Ode to my sister

by

Barnali Saha

I walk into the busy streets
Eying those holding hands
Smiling, giggling or having lunch
A hush, a whisper, a fleeting thought
A pile of memories fresh are sought
I fail to construe my own feelings
Dejected at common sightings!
The dried, maple leaf is floundering like me
Probably rambling on the sideways for someone to see
One unforgotten tear like a jewel tinkles
In one forgotten chamber still it dwells
Not remembered everyday yet remembered with each breadth
Die Schwester, as that dancing moon light in the fathomless firmament
My boundless falcon soars for you every passing moment

Barnali Saha

(published in The Statesman, India)

The morning firmament turns dark
Sheaves of cotton cloud billow and lurk
The scrumptious little pie sits on my table
I look outside and see the rainy rebel
The wind chime tinkles a mirthful tune
And I remember the days cold and prune.
The lonely trees in the neighborhood
Dance and sway like loyal myrmidon.
Dollops of happy thoughts fill my heart
As little drops patter and call me spoiled brat
The unadulterated, succulent rain
Bring home happy thoughts and plaintive refrain
The somnolent air lulls me to sleep
The soporific lids thy thoughts lip
The juvenile splendor of the idyllic day
