The Death of Horizon

Dr Sudhansu Dash

Banished from the womb

From the length and breadth of all eyes

Burning under the passion of a fear-mixed look

Looking for a compassionate word

To measure the distance between me and myself.

The distance between two infinities

Disappear into one another

Leaving behind a desperate long sigh.

Lifenow-here,life no-where

In the game of hide and seek

Ends my whole ego

In the over flowing tears of my eyes.

I myself a dew drop on the bed of a tender grass

Counting the pulse of being a no-more in the hard sun.

Now flowing like a dispassioned river

Knows not where,to hell or heaven?

Shivering like a dry leaf

To be suspended at any moment from the mother tree.

Still, cutting the net of illusive nothingness

The flute of hunger attracts me from the closest distance.

The transitory life,

 The print of wet feet on the dry earth

Missing its identity before looking at itself

Only remains a Smokey Horizon.
