Contemporary Poetry Anthology by Santosh Kumar Biswa

Let us sing oh! Nightingale

Oh! Nightingale, marked for the nocturnallity, Allow me to accompany, come closer With tones that never were so penetrating.

You aren't the same Nightingale of Keats, So different you sound, that of bridges, With emotions so plaintive and sorrowful.

Like my melancholy, you seem alike Seeing all those present happenings around, Vividly, pleading people with vicious thoughts, Whose melancholy you once made yours.

Let us sing together better in tones this time To reach those unreached ones - so harsh in deeds, That we be able to conciliate them purely, To heed and atone of their wrong acquittal, Already committed, for the amendment of their futurity.

Contemporary Poetry Anthology by Santosh Kumar Biswa

Let us not catch one’s breath until we live up, Like a river flow for the pacification of actus reus. And then that, our strain be an agent of peace That curves people to create another Troy.

Let us be as pleasant as the song of Cupid That flourishes not hatred, but love, Not merely to the loved one, but unloved too. Than our tone be as Hercules as before, With the character of unity for a better tomorrow.
