অন্বেষা মন্ডল

 

হাইকু (HIKU)  

 

(in loving memories of Ashoke Tanti)

 

 

(1)

 

We set your heart on fire

And put your face on a frame-

Repeated your lines to keep your memoir awake.

 

(2)

 

 A dark shadow passed by

 every window.

 On a greed for fame

 took a famous with itself.

 

(3)

 

The smoke raised upto my eyes-

 I wept

 Till the candle burnt off the sins.

 

(4)

 

There is so much to say

 that … I just keep shut,

 forever.
