Sanchita Karmakar
State Aided College Teacher,
Kalipada Ghosh Tarai Mahavidyalaya,
Bagdogra, West Bengal, India
Built a cottage,
made not out of
Solid brick, stone
and cement
But with pure love,
gentle care, understanding
To the fullest,
loyalty at its best
No space for
secrecy and treachery.
Too fragile
emotions
That are real and
rare – resulted the fall off
Cottage crushed
under the storm of
Turbulent emotion,
painful love
Tearful smile,
pleasant heartache
Scathing yet
soothing memory.
Because there is a
saying
Nothing too much
lasts longer
Real and purity has
to take
A step back in this
harsh/cruel world
For I never dreamt
of Castle.
World taught me to
aspire
For Mansion – full
of greed,
Lust, ignorance –
devoid of ideal love.
The one who is in
close contact
With nature –
dreams of nature
Longs to be with
nature –
Cannot go against
one’s own nature.
Nature of
simplicity yet bold
Caring too much –
at times very cold.
Utopia is for
dreams,
Dystopia fits in
reality.
Because what is
ideal is not real
Real is rare!
