New Moon
New Moon There will be a new moon over my shoulder And that old moon…..
Haiku by Ashoke Tanti (Part- 3)

41.
My dream globe encompasses
Your rain-cries, summer-wrath
And broken-heart yellow leaves.
42.
The pyre smokes the bank.
Relatives’ silent clump.
Diminishing glow of light.
43.
Your silent song fills the air.
It takes my soul away
Into a tranquil dark world.
44.
A mystified river flows-
Embracing the moon in its heart.
Quite night is the lone witness.
45.
A white lemon bud –
Like an adolescent girl,
Crackles in the sun.
46.
Our unuttered talk dies down.
As the setting sun descended,
I have lost you in the dark.
47.
I shriek out the truths of love
And lost decades of old warmth.
Pure love dissolved into laughter.
48.
Jump deep inside the sea;
Bring the astonishing light
Of the molting pearl.
49.
The bee is so busy that
It forgot about the wound
Of the brown shady tree.
50.
My heart beats every time
I touch the keypads,
I fear even a shadow.
51.
At midnight I go to bed
And my gloomy shadow
Crawls ghostly by my side.
52.
Love fades away like fairy
Only the shadow that shines –
Like a mast, sinks in the sea.
53.
My eager ears search your voice
Let our perplexed shadows
Talk of their heart in twilight
54.
Your dew-washed shadow,
Smells of plucked lemon,
A dreamy Sunday morning.
55.
My shadow hides behind me
When the sun shines
And stares at me from horizon
56.
A naughty black cat
Leaking its concealed shadow
In the looming mid-day sun.
57.
Oh sky! Why are you so gloomy?
Crying silently with deep flashes
In the chirping life of the morning!
58.
A shadow love, like a crazy cat
Following me through the day.
Moon-beam fills my dreams.
59,
The sky remains unmoved,
And the quite night sleeps,
A lone cuckoo is crying.
60.
A wounded toy laughs is sorrow
As it has been tossed in the air
By two enthusiastic players.
61.
I tried to catch the butterfly,
Astonished to find it sitting
On your calm, unmoved arm.
62.
We share a nice sunshine –
Divided by poles of the earth
And an agitated blue sea.
63.
The train blows its horn
In the moonlight evening,
Like an old conch shell.
64.
I slept a night without dream
And wake up in the morning
Of dew drops and shining sun.
65.
My call can’t touch your voice.
You are in a big clamor.
The shadows are silent spectator.
66.
Remove the shadows from your face;
The sunlight is so thick and bright,
Even a snail decided to come out.
67.
Two wings enjoy the golden rays,
Looks down to yellow mustard field
At the naval of the mother earth.
68.
A corpse wept, dug its own body;
Life separated its bleeding heart
And buried in a faraway ruined city.
69.
A memoir, not beauty,
Collects love from the sun
And flies towards eternity.
70.
Sunlight and a bucketful of water
Plays under a lemon tree hideout,
Glitters of their heart are very proud.
