A bard of beauty

Shukdeb Mazumder 

Regardless of whether you

love me or not

I always try to untie your

beauty-knot.

Beauty in your suspenseful

smile and eyes, 

beauty in the expanse of your

dress that flies.

Beauty in the twist of your 

vanity and modesty,

beauty in the transition between  

misery and hilarity.

Beauty in the mystery betwixt

love and loathing,

beauty in the words coated with

bareness and clothing.

I endeavour to understand

all the beauty, 

like an aesthetician I

perform my duty.

To be mute before beauty is a sin,

I am a bard of beauty and so sing.
