Gayatri Phukan Poems

1.

The image of a nude woman has gone viral
In social media
Her beloved man
Has put under hammer
...

On the full moon night
The moon puts on the red dress
The eunuch nights lie still like a log
The moon embraces a heartful of unbearable sorrow
...

A vermilion evening
I came back
from that river side..
When I came back,
...

The rains clean up the morning

Breaking the pleasant drowsiness
Sprinkle dream in the field
...

Am wandering carrying a Sun in my heart
Sometimes getting singed in sunshine
Some other times enjoying its warmth
Wandering around
...

As the molested Earth weeps
The Sun fumes in fury
The rain revolts
Which place is free of molestation
...

I longed to meet you
Had I met you
I'd perhaps taken your hands
In my ensconced hands
...

WE ARE PRISONERS HAPPY EARTH
Original: Assamese: Gayatri Phukan
As we proceeded
We never have
...

Please do not leave this city
Without meeting me once
Who knows
Perhaps this would be our last meet
...

In the verandah where the sunshine do not run around in summer
It crawls and giggles during winter
I feel happy with the verandah.
The sunshine sprinkle dream on the face.

The Best Poem Of Gayatri Phukan

Shame

The image of a nude woman has gone viral
In social media
Her beloved man
Has put under hammer
His sweetheart's nude picture
Like a pornographic model
Wheatish texture
Eyes full of lust
Comely breasts
Inviting midriff with a deep navel
The figure of woman has dazzled
Like a devouring flame of lust
Appears like a pure sculpture
Etched in Mohenjodaro
Its red tinge
Has licked the lust of
Hundreds of menfolk.
In the flame of the flare of lust
Of hundreds of men
That picture of women
Is getting raped
Again and again
The womanhood of earth
Is crestfallen in shame
Woman captivated
In lovers sweet nothings
Forgot her womanhood
Shed her covers of shame
Presented her own nude picture
The curvaceous figure
Got auctioned in the market
Magnificent womanhood

Can the red hue of love
Be auctioned
Like that
Can the waves of love
Be sold in the market
Like that
Can the body of beloved
Be sold like that
O nude woman
Do you have
In your possession
A nude picture
Of your loved man
You too auction it
Let
Modernity
Civilization
Love
Be humiliated
In your hands

Before presenting a nude picture
Grab one nude picture as a present
Then only
The match would be drawn
He shameless match
Would turn interesting
Shame would be auctioned in market
Shame of man and woman
Equally
Otherwise
No one should present
Anyone
Nude picture
So that
Shame
Is not auctioned.

-Gayatri Phukan, Translated by Bibekananda Choudhury
