How can I miss you, if you won't leave? How can I love you, if you love me? How can I convince you that I have no desire; To be any sort of flame in your fire? How can I convince you not to stay? What things can I say, to just make you go away? Just tell me what foods, you refuse to eat. And I will

Broken silence in the end never helped a single friend. Looking away never saved a single slave. And just because you are ordered to; “Say nothing!" Does this release you? Your nightmares never have. It happens today, you know? those slaves being sold. Sold to Saudi Prince's From Africa of all plac

Long ago in the land down under, I heard it rain, I heard it thunder. The rain was fire, the rain was cold, the lightning hot, the people old. Black as the night, with voices speaking wisdoms, seldom heard seldom listened. Mathematical equations, scientific-values, knowledge of space, time, and s

  Love is the splendour that mystifies me A rainbow in the sky colours my mind Rapture bosom in high-spirited glee Blind by passion, beloved we enshrined   Romance, Zephyr on a hot humid day Dawn of spring after each winter season As butterflies draw toward flowers way Lovers seek closeness for any

I took up the call The command was made Placed the receiver down Hardened my resolve Steadying my shivering nerves I picked up the gun Shot at the innocent man He fell with a thud Blood spurted from his chest And ran down the floor With my descent into Hell I fell from Grace My gut swiftly swirled

The gentle glow of candlelight A glass of champagne to uplift my spirit The hypnotic strains of Mozart in the background Moonlight streaming through the open window A soft breeze caressing my skin Transport me to a romantic mood When sweet poetry flows through my pen. ©®Susmita Mukherjee

Sifting through the sands of time Ephemeral it fades away As water flows down the river It's constantly on the move Time and tide waits for no one Instead of lamenting the past We should seize every moment Fulfil our dreams and wishes Till our time on this earth is over And death knocks at our door.

I miss you like the parched earth thirsts for the rain I miss you like the nightingale's song heralds the coming of spring I miss you like the night birds wait for the darkness to fall I miss you like a warm campfire in a chilly wintry night I miss you like the sunshine in a damp cloudy day I miss

The Horizon I sailed towards the horizon Where the ocean embraces the sky Was this the edge of the world? Would I tumble and fall? The allure of the unknown Captured my imagination But the horizon kept expanding As I sailed on The sun dipped under Lining it crimson The moon popped up from below Oh

The sound of rain Acts as a balm to my overtaxed brain Is a sweet lullaby Relaxes my bewildered mind The soothing downpour Washes all my worries away Induces me to be in the arms of Morpheus In a peaceful repose. ©®Susmita Mukherjee

Does anyone understand the weight of their own words It seems like most folks don't They spew misinformation with precision That's a terrible decision, their ego won't let them admit they made a mistake It feels like a waste to go head to head With ignorance. My stubbornness won't allow

The need to detatch from this bond was way overdue I glued it back to keep it intact Guilt from leaving people I love Kept me here longer than I planned The con of having a big heart Is whenever you do what's best for you You can't help but think what's best for others I feel like I'm a

Everybody needs somebody Whosoever, however they maybe A shoulder to cry on A chest to bury their face in Someone to be by their side To share their happiness and grief A human touch of affection It's need cannot  be denied To be loved and be wanted Is but a basic human desire Those blessed w

Suitcase packed Going on a journey No fixed plan nor agenda Through the shady woods A bonfire in the night To a riverside camp Angling by a stream On a mountain trail Where the snow capped peaks Touch the sky Soaking up the sun On a sandy beach Listening to the billowy waves Crashing on the

Dirty Low Downs. Like all of us, sometimes lost sometimes found. Sometimes scared. Sometimes fearlessly captured. Sometimes hooked. Sometimes raptured. Set free, but usually only after a great-disaster. That Dirty-Low-Down, sets in, wants to be your friend. Fight it my friend. Let God step in. Step-

Where is the child? When did the child leave in-you? When was the innocence lost? Where did the magic go? Or did it fade away at some point in time, like day-fades almost unawares to the night? You went outside to play one-day. Did you know it would be for the last time? Oh-Lord, does anyone

The climate changes in many places, overcome with many faces. Lighting storms blaze down under, while far up here we hear the thunder. It rolls across like bolts of lightning. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes frightening. She is licentious in many ways. This wondrous Earth, all her days. T.A. Di

Green rolling hills, farm houses scattered. Wheat on one side, corn on the other. Dawns fog rolls in, gives it all cover, soon they all fade away. Morning sun rises, fog turns to mist, waters the grass, flowers they kiss. Green rolling hills, farm houses scattered. Wheat on one side, corn on

It is just cleaning the sewers when they back up Putrid brown climbing out from every oriface on to the streets, Smells that could be from Hell seeking the sun for its release. The fresh air it contaminates as it oozes there before us. I hear no trumpets that lie about it being glorious. Those come

Bury me in the warmth of your embrace Drown me in the scent of your skin Let your lingering kisses feel like Heaven Your beating heart is my home and haven Making my fears disappear in the whispers of forever Let our passions ignite our souls Where two souls beyond bodies are lost In everlasting lov

His life came to a ruinous end Plummeted into insanity The red-bearded painter With his self-hatred, despair and desperation for understanding He drank yellow paint thinking it would make him happy Locked up in a mental asylum that would shatter any person’s self-belief Deceived Vincent cut h

Love came to me like a warm fire Hugging me in a cold wintry night As a burning bush you engulfed me In your flames of desire A little delay till our souls met Never caused any harm It was God's miracle That brought us together in this cosmic bond But it takes time to embrace the pain Of not hav

A prolonged loud silence Shattering my belief Baffling my spirit Summoning an inevitable end Of what we had between us Shunning my existence Severing the bond that tied us The heart lies bruised by the callous attitude And distance grows further between us Nothing it seems stays forever. ©®Su

My heart hops and skips a beat Every time I look at your face I feel a lump in my throat Dumbfounded I'm unable to speak I experience an adrenaline rush Awestruck by your presence Mesmerized by your aura I worship the very ground you walk on. ©®Susmita Mukherjee

Lurking behind false identities And faceless names They launch a venomous attack Pulling you down the road to defame Their malicious intent to vilify your name Is a vicious and preposterous game Shameless trolls are a sadistic ploy That often media houses deploy ©®Susmita Mukherjee

Finding Love was always the ultimate goal I'm such an overthinker I can't help but think what are the odds that I'd find what I was looking for Our paths crossed at the perfect time Since the first time we touched I knew I had to make you mine I searched the globe for love and the whole time

I recently suffered a setback I can't allow myself to get comfortable I know it in my heart, it's time to depart I can't grow here , I tried to and It was a mistake My potential doesn't match my pay And I can't be at peace until they do I've spent so much time here And nothing to show for b

He took me sightseeing Hand in hand Smiling bright Eyes for each other To the city of his dreams Navigating the twists and turns of the streets Awed by the sights and sounds The majestic buildings Their architectural splendour Where history whispers And echoes through its corridors We stopped

My life's journey is marked by ups and downs A rollercoaster ride of smiles and frowns I decided to live every moment to the fullest For time changes and we are all tourists Neither happiness nor sorrow is permanent Only change is ever constant. ©®Susmita Mukherjee
