 ENGLISH POEMS

                                                    I AM SLAVE!
                                 
I am slave
I am slave of my emotions,
Slave of lust and slave of appetite!
Still color and relish rule me,
Shapes and words bide me.
I m bidden by taste. Hate and Love still binding
Tactile matters still existing.

This is just body, hands and chest with two legs
Rather scarecrow, one earthen pot in two pegs.

I am talking of those golden moments
When it reached to my ear,
All cordons of outlanders dropped off.
Closely in that midnight,
I looked at my hands, looked at my legs.
Neither fetters nor shackles in ankles
Wrists without handcuffs
No load on my head, No yoke on my neck.

A first sigh in free air
Bestowed relief first and foremost!
I gushed off the bed
Yelped spontaneously,” I am free! I am independent!”

A cobra spirited in the void of mind
Hissed questions with expanded hood,
Hundreds of thousand answers
Revealed into mind to calm me down!

Every decade then after raised same questions
Every decade then after followed same conclusions!

Me obsessed by hunger and thirst
Obsessed by demons
Demons of dreams, demons of ambition
Desires, worries and many a lot!

I have become the machine spiritless
Preserving myself as if just being!
‘Just Being’! I m just being.
Shackles and handcuffs still existing
Yokes and loads still pressing
Loaded on my body till the golden moment
Loaded now in my mind!
What exactly it meant
When I was declared as independent?

I am talking of that golden moment.
