Half a Sunset - Poem by Sarvajeet D Chandra
Half a Sunset - Sarvajeet D Chandra A city of half a sunset The other half of sunset, unseen A city of half an acquaintance The other half, a gaggle of unfamiliar beings The elephant deity wages a fiery battle Against monsters of half-truths, deceit As the pandemic adds a mask To the multitudes of faces we wear The skyscrapers gaze quietly Half-listening to my voiceless songs The in-between-ness of a migrant life The blank, blank emptiness of days Sleek billboards sell half-baked dreams What we possess never seems enough Rejigger yourself, add speed and shine Keep running, you aren’t good enough I try hard to take the city out of me In a distant resort, full of sea and stars The city fumes inside, it’s discontent Keeps lingering like a half-hearted exile The sea comforts me in many ways It devours the grisly yesterdays in me Reconditions my half-happy tomorrows As I ebb and flow again, with streams of strangers Connect with Unpen on Social Media One Link : https://campsite.bio/tounpen Podcast Page https://anchor.fm/tounpen Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/2unpen/ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/IndianPoetry/ Twitter : https://twitter.com/2unpen Contact Sarvajeet on sarvajeetchandra@gmail.com #poetrylovers #poetsofyoutube #poetrycorner #Unpen #indianpoetrylovers #poetryofthesoul #indianpoetryinenglish #poemsbyme #inspiredpoetry #deeppoetry
