After this one

Is there a heaven? Where I can find you again?
An afterlife? With redefined rules, renewed ties?
For you, I will believe, I will try-
To chance tomorrow, rearrange my life;
For if it is not now, it is not not ever-
For I can wait, and wait, hope forever;
For you, I believe, it cannot be the end,
Maybe if not this life, maybe after death.

N.B. Amidst sadness, there’s happiness too. The silver lining maybe… Sometimes that shines gold? I’ll find that one day. And I’ll leave pragmatism for another day and give in to absurd day dreaming today.

P.S. I don’t really believe in afterlife. G.

long nights

Posted on December 4, 2017 by Guria

as you slept lightly, on your side
breathing softly, deeply next to me,
I looked and looked, unbelieving
incredulous, that this was really true;
almost like I wished you into form
after nights and more nights
of imagining, dreaming (and praying?),
and then there you were, really there-
a manifestation of hopes, and yearning
a glimpse into a world, alternate,
a moment in an universe of wishes fulfilled,
before it all dissolved in the bright daylight.

the fire of being

Posted on December 1, 2017 by Guria

wallup.net

in moments of languish, and slowly bokeh lights
hailing loss of sanity, and fading, waning life-
suddenly derailed momentum, in a burst of fire
that brings forth revival, in a quest for survival,
the zeal flares incandescent, burning hot-
show me the ways the universe knows not,
you breath into my soul, touch, heal, attain,
you whisper me into being, and I am alive, again!

N.B. happiness takes many forms. poetry is also one of them. poetry as tribute, and for keepsakes, is another. love, G.

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 উঠেও অন্ধকার, নিঃশ্বাস নিতে লাগছে ভার
বিচ্ছিন্ন পৃথিবী, যাবজ্জীবন কারাগার-
শেষে কল্পনাতেই বিসর্জন, সেই অবাস্তবে থমকে মন;
অশেষ রাতের ঘুমের ডাক- রুখতে পারব? আরেকবার?

P.S. Best emotions, favorite language, least command 😐 as usual. Still. ~G.

ইতি

Posted on October 29, 2017 by Guria

এমন একটা গল্প আছে, তোমার জীবনেও
অল্প বয়সের খেলার মত, কিংবা মতিভ্রম|

আমি চললাম, এই কথাটা
তোমাকে গুছিয়ে বলতে চাই,
যদি পারি, চেনা আঘাতটা
বেদনা নয়, মুক্তি হয়ে যায়|

তাই খাতা-কলম হাতে বসেছি,
তোমায় চিঠি লিখব বলে-
এমন চিঠি, যার শেষ আমার স্বাক্ষরে নয়-
তার ইতি-লেখা হবে তোমার শক্ত-মুঠোয়|

winding down

I won’t ask, I shan’t want

I will not let my mind wander

Trick the heart into believing

That happiness lurked right around the corner.

খবর

Posted on August 12, 2017 by Guria

কোথায় কোথায় খুঁজেছি তোমায়;
আনাচে-কানাচে, কোনায়-কোনায়-
এ-ঘর থেকে ছুটে ও-ঘর করলাম,
ধুধু করে মন, গেলে তুমি কোথায়!
এখন-ওখান, সব-খান দেখলাম-
শুধু পকেট-টাই দেখিনি, হায়!
মেসেজ করেছ যে কেটে পড়েছ;
‘দেখি, যদি কাল দেখা হয়।’

Untouchable

Posted on July 31, 2017 by Guria

That radiant smile disappears
When his eyes shined into mine
Which nary a moment ago,
With joy and expectation, were aglow.

Oh the irony, of loving a fallen man
And be a reminder of indelible sins-
You want to be his fragrance of bliss,
Yet you reek of a travesty to happen.

N.B. Game of Thrones is getting to me! ~G.

Mirror

Posted on July 29, 2017 by Guria

6

Pinked lips swollen and bruised
Kohl eyes that were sunken holes
Fine skin was crisscrossed, shedding
And against the pale and bloodless
Ran dried black tears, aimless
Like paths in wilderness, staining.

The mirror replied as such.
To the pretty, smiling face-
Ready to step out in grace.
A mask hides much.

N.B. So many interpretations but only one of them is true.
