When you Bask in the Shadowy Staircases

by Dr. Ratan Bhattacharjee

When you bask in the shadowy staircases
Your beauty glitters like platinum-rimmed diamond
You sit under the almond trees in cool
Your long beautiful legs awaken the shadow behind.

When you awaken the morning silence
The birds chirp in circled flight
I never forget your naughty cute smile,
Memories like the stars glitter all night.

You were smiling, you were smiling
You thought as if I was gone
But I remained with you there
Under the trees at each new dawn.

We live in virtual reality, You are right Sheba
‘Ratanda, we are not alone’
In quest of beauty and truth
My Facebook page is open and my mobile is on.

Tagging, posting, these I did all day long
Shadows and sunshine composed a song
The rainbow colors in a combo curl your eyes
Thoughts all romantic in my mind arise.

You can be my pilot, I fear not the waves
I live in the virtual world, I live in the Webs…
I am a Columbus on the unchartered sea
When the ocean is so far away and the ship near me.

Don't have the words of eulogy, but one thing I can say is "you are uniquely gifted with the viewless wings of poesy".
