Missing Rituparno

I never walked up to you and asked for an autograph… I never wished to meet 'YOU', the controversial celebrity! I silently admired the avid reader and profound genius…the poet and philosopher within you…Who captured life in frames and wrote the most beautiful sonnets on celluloid! Most of ‘them’ failed to understand your inner boldness lying within all delicate and sensitive portrayal of relationships. People loved to talk about your cross-dressing and latest surgery, they were little bothered about your deep loneliness. I was envious of your huge collection of books as well as scarves!! I even thought of mailing you once, attaching one of my poetry jottings…Didn’t get the time… I won’t say R.I.P. ,I won’t accept your detachment from earthly affairs, for me you will very much be here.. in your every masterpiece, charisma and wisdom..in every unspoken piece of time ..

I wonder whether anyone else can ever understand emotions of all classes of women like you used to do so effortlessly… I confess my warmest regards and unexpressed love for the most sensitive filmmaker of Indian Cinema and an utmost innocent soul... Rituparno Ghosh!

Mute

Some days are like just like that… Aboriginal yet submissive! As we lift the veil of pseudo-consciousness from destiny, we could slowly learn how to outdo bigots and give our inner enigma a totally different plausible dimension. So, the idea should be to stay dynamic, both in terms of living and dreaming. The extent of dynamic realization should surpass every stagnant turn. The earth in magnificent in both colors and content. The endless strive should be to explore it and debate in every possible way to understand the wonderland called ‘life’.

Only



Drifting apart, I flow through you
And weave time in mythical frames
Of destined leaps of insanity…

I flow through you
And demure lilts of mist embrace me
In your myriad rhetoric…

I flow through you
And pray not to fall in love
With your chatoyant mask…


I flow on
And you unassumingly wait…
My evocative kisses find their way


To brooding desire of visceral stones,

And I greedily grip your shoulders!!

As we whisper...
Utopia would never be the same anymore... 

The Emerald Helix



 And there would be moments...

Rustling jute leaves,

Mute jingles of demure sun,
Stolen epilogues…

Bewitched phonetics,
Pre-autumn jacaranda,
Fuming odes of a fuchsia dusk…

Chaotic mayhem of sustained truth…
Profound cascade of obscure space…
Between you and me...

Between us...


Rendezvous



New colonies disperse
Between the assured graves
Of drowsy thoughts, mellow entropy and solitary vice...

Beyond the secured slumber,
Yeats and Eliot…
Dew-capped blueberries…

Beyond the burner,
Mortar and pestle…
The scarlet fumes of longing...

Incessant peace takes over…
As midsummer dreams creep and crawl
Through the rampant salvation!


Polychromasia



Undefined in colors…
Decided memoirs invoke…
As distant sharks
Of ethereal response..!


The mirage of graves shivers…and indulges…
As the emerald hue crumples…
In my cheekbones...

Permafrost

Your opulent silence
Gets engraved…as miracles…
In my burning eyelashes…

Of dolor...and momentariness!



Tonight...
Steal my mundane blues...
Dizziness…
Insipidity…

As the rocks of captive blood…
Fade in and out of space…


Through the obscure windowpane;
That hides you and me,
And the drunken horses…


As we pretend to fall asleep...!!!
