I WANT YOU
Firstly, I want you.
Secondly, I want you.Thirdly, I want you.
Till the very end, I want you.
In the quiet of the dark, I want you.
At the turn of dawn, I want you.
In youth of morn, I want you.In the leisurely eve, I want you.In April storms, I want you.
In July clouds, I want you.
In August deluges, I want you.
In October festivities, I want you.To the time-worn Calcutta streets,
To old 'n' new faces, in houses 'n' retreats,
To the innumerable people in a tired procession,
It's you who brought a touch of unknown vacation.In the fatigue of city-life, I want you.
In a droplet of calm, I want you.At the end of a long walk, I want you.
In my love for life, I want you.
At crossings of streets, in parks and stores,
In cities and villages, here and there evermore;In stations, terminals, ports and outdoors;
In strange living rooms, familiar indoors;
On pillows, mattresses, quilts and sheets age-old;
In cuddling comforters on a wintry night's cold;On ceiling bars and thresholds, door mats and spreads;
In laughter, anger, hurt, quarrels and truces bred--
I want you, want you, want you!In a cup of tea, I want you.
On left and right, I want you.
Seen or unseen, I want you.In unspoken words, I want you.
In Shirshendu's latest book,
In Aabol Taabol, at a flippant look;
In obtuse poems, in a thumri or khayal;

In slogans painted on wall after wall;
In songs that Salil Choudhury left behind;In the life that Chaurasia's flute defined;
In the music of Himangshu Datta we don't remember,
The old radio show that played my favorite number--
I want you, want you, want you.In requests and entreatings, I want you.
In cries of pain, I want you.
In wants and demands, I want you.
In shame and hesitation, I want you.In cutting demands, their right recognized;
In posters of struggle painted overnight;In polished poetry, its rhetoric cadence;
In the logic of prose, the hope of existence;
In an endless longing for a society without class,
A hunger for changing the times, en masse;
In the dream of doubts and strife dispelling;In sleep and waking, when Equality's calling;
In agitation and revolution--I want you.
In the impossible of impossibles, I want you.In war and peace, I want you.
In this confusion, I want you.Firstly, I want you.
Secondly, I want you.
Thirdly, I want you.
Till the very end, I want you. ___
