“A virgin moon and the holy river”
(An untold love story)
(Adapted from a poem of Manish Singha Roy)
By ✍ Dr. Biswajit Chattopadhyay
A virgin naked moon
Descends into the holy water
Of Visnu river..
No-one notices her
Except the poet
But she feels scared
Of her creamywhite nakedness.
Only the holy water of Visnu river
Flows nonchalantly around her
rounded contour without even a casual glance..
Perhaps in full moon
The river will break his slumber
And fix a date with her in the deep beyond public eye..
Perhaps he’ll buy her precious gifts
Feed her with ice-cream and pomegranate juice
And tell her erotic bedroom story
And finally take her to waterbed
When she’s really ready for Love!
