Silly Story

 

I woke up late one morning

To the Sound of Clattering cans

 Pots and pans clang clang !

No one was at home!

 

I ran to the kitchen… Bang Bang!

And saw the windows broken and wide open

It was raining and the wind was howling

I was scared when I ran up the corridor

I heard a loud banging at the door bang bang!

Rat-a-tat trembled the carved door!

Water overflowed from the jug and splashed

As I dashed down the hall

And had a great fall!

 

Somewhere footsteps shuffled on the floor!

The telephone rang tring tring !

The doorbell kept on ringing

Someone shouted: Let me in! Open the damn door!

It was my cousin waiting outside all morning!

Quarantine

You are your only friend

Listen to yourself talk

Take a walk

Down the memory lane

Look at the window pane

The streets are empty

Like a body without a soul

You are lonely at your home

but not alone!

There are things you can do

Find someone to talk over phone

Listen to the radio

Play a video game

Paint or draw

All by yourself

It is painful I know

Without human contact

You loose your mind

No one to look behind

No one to turn to

Trapped in your body

When in stress

You miss the caress

But there are things you can do

Keep your cool..be kind

Let not fear take control

Write a thing or two

Make music, play tunes

Watch cartoons

Be creative…

May be dance

Spend more family time

When you have a chance

It isn’t easy I know

When you are on quarantine

But you can survive!

Hope

Dear god
help us trod to the sunlit path
of  peace and bliss
let us feel  the warm sun within
in our dark and dismal life
where times are always strife
so please god please
release us from this abyss
 guide us with your light
save us from this plight!
we have been meandering in this endless labrynth  of despair
 we have been waiting for  a breath of fresh air
perhaps a sigh of relief
from this grief
there has only been a down hill spiral for all of us
toiling like sysiphus
 rolling  the heavy stone
what can be done to atone for our sins?
there has been no light at the end of the tunnel
our tears and sweat run pell mell
flooding the gates of hell
the  grey skies never light our eyes with sunshine
so please god please
release us from this abyss
 guide us with your light
save us from this plight!

LOVE

The longing look in your eye's brook
makes me feel worthwhile
 you make me smile.
with your crazy antics
 you pant as if
 you have traveled the world round
 in leaps and bounds
to have me found
 with you around
I am on safe and sound
I feel I can go an extra mile
 for your cause
 you make me pause ...
 for a little while
 you take off my mind
from  life's daily grind
from endless chores

and give you all the attention

 you can change the wind's course
and blow out the tension
when you come to me to cuddle
 your soothing caress and soft embrace
makes me forget trouble
you are magical
just a wet lick can do the trick
when you lovingly whine
 and rub your nose against mine
clothe me like a cloak
with your shiny white coat
you make me feel sunny warm
 our bodies become one
 like the moon eclipses the sun either way we cant be torn
we shield one another from harm
 such is your charm!

My Life

The summer of my life

Heat singes under my skin

Like the edge of a knife

The insatiable thirst turns worst

Endless days and seamless night

Times are always strife

Unable to find meaning of my life

I always feel like

Turning back to spring

The younger days of my life

When I had everything

I was groomed with

Tiny spells of rain showers

I was in full bloom

with little or no concern

The path laden with a soft carpet of flowers

Has gone too soon!

But there’s nothing but autumn

And the winters inevitable doom

A patch of darkness cloud my eye

When my hair will begin to grey

As the sky

My skin will wither

Like the petals and leaves

I stand listless like the leafless trees

Waiting to be free!

And when I have reached my prime

It will begin to snow

And I shall cease to be

In the snowy blanket of time

But life will continue to grow

Like a green carpet above me

What have I to learn?

What I yearn?

I do not know? Do you?

Summer

Summer makes me weary and tired
the fire of desire scorching blond
melting the summit's ice
 streaming river mirroring the cloudless skies
 running through a delicate nose bridged
 between the dark pond like eyes
drying up the thirsty well
 open for a drop of water
 matted deep red lips in the summer!

Eternal Flame

Eternal Flame
Sparks fly Not to die
Only to ignite again
The glowing blaze
 Flares in passionate craze
 Grows more intense
With desire
The candle blows out again
Not the essence
 Feel the incense
 The eternal flame rises again
 In a new vessel. of
Another name..
So light a spark in the dark
not a lamp lit with ire
When the times are dire
So light the pyre
No one is to blame
 Forget the pain
 Feel the warmth of the fire!


The glow of  her spark
 twists turns and wriggles out of dark
How gracefully she slides wounds round and glides
 Like a ballet slow Down the mountains bellow
She blows up a volcano
 She prances on her toes
 In the blazing fire tapping to a beat of flamenco
With leaps and bounds
She flings herself off the ground
In her wild dance Blowing to ashes
 Whatever she touches
Sometimes she settles by the campfire
Simply to rest her dancing feet.
 When the breeze is sound
she calms down
But sparks of desire turn up the heat
And rekindles her fire!.

Lost labour

I  wanted to be free
So I sowed the seed of desire
It grew to a lovely tree
Sunned with fire
And watered with dew
green it grew
With flowers of snow
Till god cut down the tree with fervour
Before I could bear thee
Fruit of my labour!

Reverse

I should nurture and nurse
That is what I have heard
All I feel is cold
So I am told
I melt the ice with tears
But soon freezez
With my cold breath
Untill life ceases
My wrath of death
Is the want of blood
 let it rain and flood
I am frozen
I am broken
Its a world of lies
Dont be surprised
Before I gorge out your eyes
And your  veins are dry

Momo

It is snowing
Your touch so cold
The wind is howling
your eyes twinkle
As snow sprinkles
Above your droopy ears
and black nose
curiosity  arosed
You bobb your tail
as snow appears
You let out a joyful welp
O wonderful hail!

Snow

Is it really worth

 Watching you fill up the earth

With white flakes?

Making ice skate

Through frozen lakes

Shaping mountains into castles

So that the wind may croon a beautiful tune

For feathers of snow to glow

 Like dancing flames on the candles

Across the hall on trees so tall!

I don’t know

Why I feel so lonely

Seeing a sight so lovely?

Bound by the allure of the snow

I feel like a fish in the frozen lake

Waiting for the ice to break!

Yet my eyes can’t help building castles in the ice!

O Moon

You always make me smile

You shine so bright

In the cold dark night

I don’t want to loose your sight

Even for a little while
The warm white and yellow guiding light

Seems to follow me wherever I go like a spotlight

You are someone I know

Who watched me grow
As you reached your apex
and wane out when the day breaks

And even now I look up to you anew

To find the person I once knew!

[Lyrics] Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton

Momentary Happiness

Why doesnt the sunshine
All the time?
Why does it have to set?
Why does the day end
And night descends?
Time flies in seconds
As a day ends
And night descends
The smile fades away
As soon as it spreads
Swept by waves
Of myriad  emotions
Through out the day
Even  the sun melts away
Giving way for night
The wind blows  out the  light
And the rains spray
As time ticks away
The dew drops dry
As flowers bloom and wither
As light flickers
There is change in every thing
Birds keep flapping their  wings
Fish keep flapping their fins
Nothing is stationary
Happiness is momentary
As all things cease to be

The Revenant

Like a reverie
You are there I know
in my thought
 From my very first memory
 When I was brought
 into this world
 I was your little girl
 Can't imagine that time can eliminate
your very existence
 which I thought was permanent
 Only your belongings are reminiscience
Of a past  which was relevant

I refuse to believe
 That I have lost you
 Deep down inside I know that someday
 I will find you
And ask you how could you stop worrying about me?
Why didn't you try to reconnect with me?
Father  I am aghast!
 I found you at last!
 I wonder what would be your response?
What would you say?
Would you stay ?
Would you hug and forgive me if  I am wrong ?
 I better be strong
And hold you forever long as long as it may be!

My tears come pouring
As the river runs dry
and vaporize
 and cloud my eyes
 And I begin to cry
And crackle aloud
churned by the  winds of emotion
Like a vicious cycle!
 Looks like you are touring
But soon you would  come full circle!
 Come back to me by some miracle! 

Survivor

The more I think of you
A silver lining in the blue
A hope that victory is near
When you strive to survive
There is nothing to fear
In the battle of life!
Your intense gaze
The grimace on your  face
Straight roman nose ,
Taut skin, high cheekbone
And determined jaws
Can break nature's laws!
Your backbone
Can kill foes!
You are hope's beacon
A gallant warrior,
Valor your armor!
Your mind your weapon
As lethal as knife or gun
Bow and arrow
With bare hands
So many battles won
In distant lands!
There is no glory in sorrow
Your body's sculpture glistens with sweat
And  bloody wounds  rupture
pushing you forward,
Vanquishing every threat
Victory your sweetest reward!

Birthday Brother

Today was the most anticipated day
For those who brought you up today
The mother who bore the sweet pain and brought you up today
The father who held u in his hands with his thumbs up
Becoz today is the day you were born
They are proud the way you were brought up
And I will blow the bugle horn
To look back to this day
And wish you many more happy returns of the day
For I can never repay you for all the things you have done as a brother
That l hav to look no further
But ask you for any favour
Here's wishing you happy birthday your loving sister

Endless Wait

People believe so many things

They find many answers to a simple query

What happens afterlife

Some say the soul is always alive...

And has wings

 to come by

I don’t have to grieve

'Coz  I believe

Life is an endless highway

You had set out for such a long tour

And somewhere along the line

You had to detour
Or wander faraway

The traces of your footsteps are gone

But not on the sands of time
imprints can't be withdrawn

You have lost touch with me and humanity

May be you had a loss of memory

I need to find you some how

May be you don’t miss me now

But some day

You will be home bound

Or maybe you are waiting to be found

I don’t know how?

But this is my stand

You must be somewhere

In the middle of nowhere

In a place like never land

In deep forest shores and desert sands

Waiting to track your steps back

And land on familiar grounds

Sights and sounds

And here I stand

Waiting to hold your hands!

Miss You Too Much

Miss you too much

How can you be

So out of touch

With only memories to cherish

How could you just vanish

Into thin air?

Your soul will never perish

It isn’t fair!

Won’t you watch over me

And hold my hand as I stand?

Though you are in a distant land may be

There are no walls

Or boundaries around

You are on a long tour I feel

May be in a distant beach

Out of reach

I can’t hear the sound of your voice

That has power to heal

 No phone calls are aloud

I have no other choice

But wait till you come by

Though I can’t see you pass by

I know you are not far

May be up in the cloud

In a star

May be in the moon

Or in the portrait

But have faith

That I would see you very soon!

 

 

 

Bangla poem - Baba

Baba tomake hariye

Aami poth hara

Megher moton jhore jhore

Aghat pey shunno hoye gechchi

Tumi  jiboner aantohin yatri

Tumi kon yatraye ? Ja ni na

Dekha shakath hobe ki hobe na?

Tomar chhayatey

Aami surokhito

Chhilo na kono koshto

Shuney tomar bhalo kotha

Chhilo na kono chinta

Tomake joriye dhorey

Praan bhorey

Moner jor barey

Tumi ato dure theke

Ki aamake shokto korbey?

Aamar bhoye kore, ki hobey?

Jeyi gaachhtar tola ta

Fulle bichhano raasta

Jaar dali dhorey hata

Aarusho prokritir maanjhey

Chinnohin hoye gachhey

Taar faller notun  gaachh

Hobey kon mathey?
