Poem: The Lips- Golden And Dry

By- Pijush Kanti Deb

goldenlips
Flying in the sky,
reaching just near to the Heaven
the golden lips-
painted by the spoon-
made of gold
utter blissfully ‘WOW’
looking at the luminous fool moon
and recite a love poem
narrating the similarity
between the beauty
of the moon and the lady-love.
At the same time
but in the different stage
dumping in the mud,
inhaling the smokes of the Hell
the dry lips,
hungry and thirsty
mutter regretfully ‘ Alas’
exhaling a long and cool breathing
staring at the moon
but start scolding it angrily
in the name of the Devil
for the bitter remembrance
of sweet nun- bread
that it gives to the poor lips.
