Love Poem: My Family
Probir Gupta Avatar
Written by: Probir Gupta

My Family

Two social crystals
Two lovely books together
Under lamp of love 

One mere paperback
The other hardbound gilded
Intense struggle on

“We shall overcome”
Resonated day and night
A rope walking tight

Page combined with page
A new book of poems grew
As a haiku came

Baby on her toes
Tremor occurred but the ball
Every time bounced back

A third book now grows
New story of a new home
Blue waves in white foam

In their shell a pearl
Now a ten year old bright boy
The family’s joy

Time moves on the shore
I still look to forming waves
In poetry caves
