Winters

For one from the lush green tropics,The bare white cold was oddly familiar-Like a remembrance of the old and faintA wisp of a thing, fleeting yet realLike a memory of the immortal soulAnd not of young mind, not from this … Continue reading

The Winding Path Home

The trick is in learning how to turn it off.Not watch the clock hand ticking,Nor check for messages to be readOr wait by the phone, willing it to ring!Good things take time, their own sweet time,Wait in your heart, in … Continue reading

Ghosted

My feet slipped a little; the heels slidIn the little nooks on the cobbled pathThe fresh snow quick and nimble,Covered my steps: I was never here!The passerby barely glanced back, With the merest of double-takesAlmost indiscernible to myopic eyesAlmost. Except … Continue reading

Catharsis XX: Changes!

I haven’t been cathartic in a while now, and a non-sappy, non-complaining, definitely non-melodramatic, less-attempt-to-rhyme, down-to-earth, realistic, therapeutic yet sarcastic post is long over due. Of course, I may not deliver on any of them or manage to get them … Continue reading

home

At the end of the long, tiring road, Waited for me, the wide, open arms. Hastily hidden salty tears mingled With glowing, spontaneous laughter, As your arms encircled and enveloped I close my eyes, peaceful; home, at last. N.B. It’s … Continue reading

খেয়ালী

একলা সন্ধ্যের বিষণ্ণতা, যেমন ভীড় মহলেও কাটে না তোমায় পাওয়ার উগ্র নেশা, আগুনেতেও পোড়ে না। তুমি যেমন আগন্তুক, অন্যকারুর কাছের লোক, আমিও তেমন খেলনা-পুতুল; দম-দেওয়া বিদূষক। তুমি যেমন সত্যি নও- জাদুবিদ্যায় চমৎকার আমিও তেমন মায়ার মত, ক্ষণস্থায়ী ভ্রান্তি তার। সূর্য … Continue reading
