SELECTED LOVE POEMS BY SHASWATA GANGOPADHYAY Words of caution
Your face at daybreak came floating in dream As a thin layer floats on the crust of milk. Your smile is,as it were,a virus of bird-flu In the twinkling of an eye it's scattered From town to village,far away village... After a long stretch of time now I understand Your brain resembles a tiny computer,unknown Through which to enter I know not what's the password But I'm unyielding, not to give up so easily As there's no ticking sound in quartz clock, Time crawls along the ground accurately like bushy shrubs, I also walk by your side,silently A day'll come, I 'm sure, when we'll meet face to face
