Photo Essay—

DARK CLOUDS AND MOONLIGHT

DYUTIMAN MUKHOPADHYAY PHOTOGRAPHY

Moments do not die a demented death.

Once they are bloomed—

They are caught in the evening dew,

For eternity.

The dew never dries—

Even though they burn the amorous grass

In vicious gasoline—

Moments do not die a demented death.

I lie with a thousand lines and lies— 

To breathe a thousand breaths.

Breaths do not die a demented death—

Once inspired from the abyss of ache,

They unfold in untold rapture…bliss—

Even though they silence the silent scream,

And savour the convulsing feet

In gluttonous gaze—

Breaths do not die a demented death.

P.S.

Some things, once you've loved them, become yours forever. And if you try to let them go... They only circle back and return to you. They become part of who you are.

Or they destroy you.
