CHANGE

They say, "Change is the only Constant thing"
They say, "All that glitters is not Gold"
They say, indeed many of these more.

Upon the cliff, there I stood;
Waiting for the Sun to set.

Along the meadow, there I stood;
Waiting for the cattle to depart.

In my mind, there I belonged;
Build Castles in the Air!!

In my soul, there I lived;
Cherished and Nourished thousands Dreams!!

OH!!! I woke from my sleep.

The winds which felt -soothing,
in damp summer evening;
I felt a shiver, all of a sudden,
it makes me feel COLD...
indeed - "Change is the only Constant thing"

I CAN

Thousands miles before I walk,

Between the paddy fields….

Thousand miles before I see,

The serene flowing river…

Thousands miles before I witness,

The orange hue of the morning light…

I feel and I just feel.

Upon the hill, I stood

And saw the deep green valley.

Upon the shore, I stood

And saw the roaring oceans.

Upon the deck, I stood

And saw the flowing river.

I’m losing the roots

Or an anchor I suppose!

Oh where is my wand?

To cast the ‘magic spell’ all over??

I lost my way

Or a destination I suppose!

I need the winds,

But where is my boat, to sail away?

I need my lamp,

The twinkling one…

I need my holy beads

To chant along…

I need my force, my inner voice…

But the only thing I need is ‘I CAN’

SPREAD WINGS

Spread Wings to fly high,
Jump high to reach the sky.
Lay down to feel the green grass,
Roll over to feel the dew spread around.

Hear the birds and sing along,
Hear cuckoo coo her heart out.
Let it rain and get drenched along,
Feel drops as it drizzles.

Shout loud, laugh akin
Wear Smile, break the wall.
Spread Wings to fly high,
Jump high to reach the sky.

নীল নদীর পারে

নীল নদীর পারে

এক মুহূর্ত আকাশটা - দেখতে চাই

নীল নদীর পারে

এক ঝাঁক পাখির নীড়ে ফেরার পথ – দেখতে চাই

নীল নদীর পারে

সূর্য ডোবার আগে শেষ আলো – ছুঁতে চাই

সেদিন যখন সেই নীল নদীর পারে

বসেছিলাম

হঠাৎ প্রাণে যেন জোয়ার এলো

ভেসে যাওয়া তরি র মতো

উযান পথে যাওয়ার মতন

দূরে বহু দূরে

সন্ধ্যে বেলায় অন্ধকারে

দূর দিগন্তে আলোর সারী

কোথাও হতে কোথায় যাবে

বুঝতে না পেয়ে উদাস ভারি

আজ সকালে হৃদ মাঝারে

নীল নদীর পারে

ডাক দিলে তুমি কোন আশাতে?

দেখতে পেলাম না যে!!!

ছুঁতে চাওয়ার মুহূর্ত গুলো

আঁকড়ে ধরে বাঁচা

কিন্তু কখন হারিয়ে যাবে

সেই নীল নদীর জলে??

হাসি কান্নার জোয়ার ভাটায়

জীবন পথে চলা,

তোমায় পাওয়ার ক্ষণ গুলো কে

নতুন করে মনে গাঁথা।

PERIL

Perplexed I stand,
To Grip you firm —
But bewildered here I am;

Seeking for a shade to rest along
Seeking for a ground to stand,
But only flowing river
Seems to drag me along.

Where I am?
Whom am I with?
Who’s the Charm?
And, who’s the Dream?

It seems as a fist-full of sands —
Its slipping, its dripping,
Going along; gone with the Wind.

Far – Far along
Ohhh!!!

I’m tired, I feel sleepy
A lot indeed

Get me a Balm —
To heal me on,
Get me a shade ---
To rest along,
Get me shoulder –
To cry along,
Get me a person –
To HUG for long…

Belle

Twisted tale, that tells a tale...
With garland and a veil,
Enmasked the Belle.

There a prince, puffed high,
Here a princess, in every known shy,
Gleaming upon the shiny moon,
Whispering and chanting a boon.

Where is my magic wand-
to cast a spell???

Green grasses, Blue sky,
Shiny stars and illuminating night...
Waiting for the horse to arrive.

She glanced, she peeped,
She achieved,
She danced, she sang,
She mused along.

The knight trodden
the gloomy lanes,
to witness the Utopian blaze...

A muse, a flick,
a chanting boon,
to reassure the victory soon

IF YOU WERE ALONE WITH ME

I was wandering...

If I could sit by the river...
to see the golden lust,
to witness the drowsy horizon.

If I could dance in the streets...
and it rained to drench me thee,
to feel the drops all over me.

If I could drift away with the passing wind...
to travel the zenith of the mountain peak,
to dare to look down upon the glowing valley.

If I could toil around the lazy roads....
in the hot summer afternoons,
to taste the pickles available on the streets.

If I could eat the jhaal phuchka
standing beside the dark lanes...
though dazzled a street light....
sour taste could hardly fade.

There were buzz....
There were coffee....
There were drive....
There were laughter....
The list is endless....n i want it to be.

Where was I??
In dream, not I suppose!!!!
I was wandering instances...
'What would you do if you were alone with me'

JOURNEY

Journey through the coiled path...
Journey through the rubble streets...
Journey through sleepless nights...
Journey through the green...

A moment's spark...
A shy smile, a twinkled eye....
A blue Shirt and a busy lane....

There were You, there was I
A few to add more,
Some special, some strangers...
to even add to the score....

Tweeted, blushed, peeked in-n- out...
Smiled and Dazzled...
Journey along the buzzy crowd....

Horns we heard....
Heart-beats were not soft either...
Blushing and Hushing...
Smiling and Toiling about....

There stars...there were cars...
in all red to blue...
there standing trees, busy cranes...
to compliment thee....

A peek
A sneak...
Into your dark brown eyes...
A smile...
A blush....
On your Rosy cheeks
That became mine!!!!!!!

HAYS AND GAYS

Uncertainty prevails...
Coincidence invades...

I was traveling in my joyous mood...
Through the blissful way...
With Scarlet Horizon...
Rosy Sky...
In an inevitable way.....

There were bees and flies....
Toiling around, in an unprecedented gay...
I paused,
I glanced....
Realized it was May

It was quite sunny...through the mystic pastures...
With patterns green and golden to uplift me in every way
It was lonely yet not scary...
It was sunny...yet not dazzling....

I felt an essence of your presence paving towards me...
I dangled for moment in sure and perfect glee...
You voiced your opinion...
You wanted to Explore the untrodden path...
You invariably supported and encouraged in a lovely way...

The Golden hay..the Golden Sun...
Above me encircling the Globe...
The flowing River, the smoothing banks...
Beneath me the treasures grows....

Seeping through..the love, the joy
Utopian in its zeal....
You have enriched and enabled me in a great deal...
