with different names
















with different names

Doors all around;
With different names…
From all corners, closed;
Efforts are on, for opening them one by one
Hurling abuses and curses!

Walls big and huge;
Safe, secure, with different names…
Of strange food and language;
Talks are on, for breaking them one by one
With all the dressing weaknesses!

Blind doors and walls with different names;
Frozen cold on the ground…
Unwilling to warm up;
To break open
Despite the deafening sound!

Walls and doors;
For so long crafted by souls…
With different names;
Cracked in silence
Seen sleeping tired on the surface!

Finally a feather touch, they melted
The shell, with different names!


This poem is dedicated to my elder brother, Sri Sourav Sen, an English teacher at Birla High, Kolkata on his birthday (22-April).
