    Poetry

    To Love, To Fear And Canonize

    Sayan Chattopadhyay

    (I)

    How couldn’t I have reconciled


    To words of yours and vows of mine,
    And days or nights we passed in warmth
    And bitterness gone in ecstasy!
    And words that felt in memory belt
    To bring us close every time,
    Has shown itself to eternity
    And faded away somehow.
    …
    And I could just have held you back
    Letting you know I’ll wait for you,
    For every storm and every night
    Where darkness makes you scared.
    For every time you smiled my love
    I’ve left a piece of me with you,

    And every time you dreamt of us


    I thought we could be happier.
    …
    Dusting here and there I know
    That all you got is dirt to show,
    And every other answer so far
    That I never had asked.
    For every little path you see
    Are made by roses, made by me
    And all you thought I did so far
    Was destroying your own galaxy.

    For every word you ever said


    I’ve lived so long in hope of those,
    And now you say you never meant
    All your shine and promises.
    How could’ve I just justify
    The worth of yours in my life,
    For never did I have measured love
    Or saw the end of eternity.
    …
    And now, you say you must obey
    The heart of yours and tragedies,

    And I am here now standing lone


    In your dichotomous fallacies.
    And yet I say I’d die for you
    My moonlight at the end of sun,
    I’ll make you eternal as I’ve said
    I’ll canonize this love beyond Donne.
    …
    And what I get by building us,
    The base of what will play along
    The times and tides yet to come
    Versed, in an eternal song.
    I’ve tied two ends long ago
    To what you call or know as life
    I’ve loved you long and loved enough
    To part from you in simple strife.
    …
