For someone's eyes

Kaushik Ghosh 1979 (Calcutta)



What’s there inside your eyes?
Deeper than an ocean,
Brighter than clear blue sky –
What lies deep in your eyes?

Darker than a sorrow
And lighter than a dream.
The joys which you borrow
Your nightmares and your screams
Do hover in your eyes.

A diver here I go –
Looking for what’s within
Soaked in your joy, sorrow
Some pearls I’ve found therein.

Well, that much is my gain!
With pearls, back to my boat –
Under your sky, in rains -
In ocean, the boat floats.
