Reflected me
It shone my beauty
That Thespian hero gazed into the pool
But you lured me into those two
I plunged
I drowned
I lived.
…

No you haven’t told me
In dull, insipid words
But I could listen
In your silence
Or read between those words
Which were left fumbling
For me to ponder…

Thick blue mist hovered
Nebula threw up that genie
And he asked me to make three.
I wished you
I wished you
I wished you.
He told me I wasted two.
I replied, he wasted three.
He smiled and moved on…
Image Illustration: Painting by Anirban Chakraborty.
Oil pastel, 2002, took about a month’s time. One of Artist’s personal favourites, mine as well.

1. Tough job that I undertook
Was to comment on your work
But I neva knw the fatal result
I plunged
I drowned
I went deeper n deeper
And now I lose………….
………to comment on ur work is a fool’s task, ‘coz ne smart prsn vl b left speechless aftr reading u…….
2. No am nt gonna tell u
Either in words or emotions
Bt make sure to understand
Or read between the words
Which were NEVER spoken
For u to muse
3. Tuku, to ur reply to my last comment, I wud like to say u that ‘its tough to gather words to praise the class of Dan Brown, bt its impossible to even think of praising the class of Shakespeare…’
This verse of urs, put u in the later class, & henceforth m sorry, that I cant comment on ur work this time as well………..

my heart skipped a beat while reading this.
powerful and minced into tiny little pieces of overwhelming passion.
