On World Poetry Day
Poetry is my refuge on cold wintry nights
The first light of dawn
The evening twilight that paints the sky
In hues of fiery coral.
As the glorious orb dips below the horizon
Poetry whispers in my ears.
In spring, the season of joy and abundance
When vibrant flowers bloom
Leaves flutter in the zephyr
Birds sing in the trees
Gentle showers soak the earth
Refreshing Mother Nature
Poetry hums a song of revival.
When storms rage in my life
And devastation and havoc follows
Poetry is the rainbow after the rains
Bringing in hope and solace
Like the warm comforting embrace of my mother
In whose arms I find peace and feel safe.
Poetry is my muse
That fuels my creative juice
It is my emotion
That sparks imagination
The friend in times of sorrow and joy
A ever constant companion
The music and rhythm
And my connection with the world.

A weir holds back the river
against the flow of the morning tide
I wonder how many thoughts,
unspoken, lie behind its barrier-
ponderings of love, turmoil, betrayal
obstructed by the dam of emotional blocks
struggling to break free from their confines.
Like silent storms beneath the surface,
they swirl in the depths of the mind,
the dam of fear, of shame,
keeps them hidden from the light.
moment a potential release,
each breath a reminder of restraint.
The heart, a vessel so full of longing,
yet bound by invisible chains,
craves the freedom to flow unbound,
to speak the words that have waited too long.
But the weir stands firm,
its stones like the weight of doubt,
the water rising higher,
pressing against its edges,
until one day—
will it break, or will the river flow in silence forever?

In a world of giants
The pomerenian is a flicker -
A spark against the horizon
Small but fierce
Its eyes catch the stars
Twinkle with mischief
Near but distant
A lively bundle of joy,
A fluffy ball of fur
Its love, a devotion
Unmatched, unparalleled.

She bears the weight of life in her womb
In quiet fortitude and strength in silence
Love flows from her hands, boundless, true
With every breath, she nurtures, she creates
A force of nature, shaping destinies and fates
In her heart, the universe is spun,
A mother, a warrior, whose battles are never undone
Through life's storms, through trials
She stands tall with a smile.
The beacon of resilience and of light
She gives, she grows with hands that heal
A love so deep blooms, it makes the world a home.

The petulant midday sun
Raging, blazing, vindictive orbit at its zenith
It's blinding glare, a white hot disc
Scorching and oppressive
Over the earth and living ones
A merciless sentinel in the cerulean sky
Wrapping us in its stifling embrace
A shimmering mirage dancing in the air.

The lights are diming
My reservoir of hope is fading away
As I struggle to find my feet
Amidst the failures and disappointments
Burying me alive
Sinking me in despair
I grab on to the last straw of hope
To catapult me to brighter days.

A whirlwind of emotions
A cyclone of wandering thoughts
A tempest of trepidation
That leaves me baffled and distraught
The devastation of my battling mind
Wreaks havoc in the soul's sacred shrine.

She hated herself there’s no denying that
As God’s favourite chastened child
Bearing the burden of betrayal
And a heavy heart filled with sorrow
In her sombre world
Where light doesn’t penetrate the walls
Penalized for her sins
Waiting for the gallows to pull in
And bring her dim life story to the end
A tortured soul never touched with genuine love
Appreciated or treasured
The curtains will fall
On the lie, she has been living for so long
Then may her soul rest in peace.

আজ কোজাগরী লক্ষ্মী পূজায়
বিষন্ন আকাশ মেঘে ছেয়ে যায়।
অঝোর ধারায় বৃষ্টি নামে
মা কাঁদে অরাজকতার অসন্তোষে।
অপমানের একি বোঝা
মায়ের জাতের ওপর নারকীয় হিংস্রতা
বুকের ব্যথা না সয় আর
চোখের জলে রাজ্য ভাসে।

বঙ্গোপসাগরের কিনারায় এক গ্রামে
ঘূর্ণিঝড়ের বার্তা আনে
গ্রামবাসীরা আতঙ্কিত সব
বাড়িঘর সব ভেসে যাবে।
আমফান আর ইয়াসের প্রকট
দেখেছে আগে তারা যে সব
দুর্ভাগাদের হা হুতাশে
টনক নড়লো না শাসকের দল।
অস্থায়ী মাটির বাঁধে
আটকায় কি জলের স্রোত
নিরুপায় মেরামত করে গ্রামের লোক
বাঁচাতে হবে যে তাদের ঘর সংসার।
ঝড়ের মুখে আহা রবে
বাঁধ ভেঙে ভাসলো সব কুঁড়েঘর
ওদের দুর্দশার হিসাব কে রাখে
গড়তে হবে আবার যে সব।
সরকার আসে সরকার যায়
প্রতিবার প্রত্যাশা দেয়
ভোট দিলে গড়ে দেবে স্থায়ী বাঁধ
কোথায় সে সবই কথার খেলাপ।

আজ চারিদিকে ভুতের আনাগোনা
কার্তিক কৃষ্ণপক্ষে ভূতচতুর্দশীর রাতে
গেছো ভূত, মেছ ভূত, পড়ো ভূত নানা
কালো ভূত, সাদা ভূত, বিচিত্র ভুতের আনাগোনা।
পিতৃপক্ষ ও মাতৃপক্ষ পূর্বপুরুষের আগমন হয় মর্ত্যলোকে
প্রজ্জ্বলিত ১৪ প্রদীপ সহকারে
তাহাদের আত্মার মুক্তির উদ্দেশ্যে
ও সারা অশুভ শক্তির বিনাশের লক্ষ্যে।
আসুক পৃথিবীতে শুভ চেতনা
অন্যায় অসূভ শক্তির দমন, সুবিচারের নিয়োজন।

সকলকে ভূত চতুর্দশীর শুভেচ্ছা।

মায়ের কথা মনে পড়ে
দুঃখের ভেলায় ভাসি
মায়ের শান্ত স্নেহের পরশ খানি
আমরা আজো বড্ড অভাব বোধ করি।
কি করে হঠাৎ চলে গেলে মা
বিধাতারই লেখন
নার্সিংহোমের অবহেলায়
প্রাণটা হারিয়ে গেল।
বেসরকারি চিকিৎসা প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলো
এখন ব্যবসায়ী কেন্দ্র
হাজারো টেস্টের নামে
হয়েছে মানুষ মারারই কলে পরিনিত।
ব্যবসার নামে ঢুকিয়ে দিল আইসিইউতে তাকে
আমার দিব্যি সুস্থ বৃদ্ধা মাকে
কাল হলো তা, ঠান্ডা লেগে
বুকে হল বড় ইনফেকশন।
ভেন্টিলেটরের প্রয়োগে স্ট্রোকে গেল ওর প্রাণটি
টাকা উপার্জনের ব্যবসায় নেমেছিলেন
কলকাতার এই বড় নামজাদা নার্সিংহোমেটি
দয়া মায়াহীন চিকিৎসক,কর্মী ও কর্তৃপক্ষ।
অনুশোচনা শুধু রয়ে গেল সন্তানদেরই হৃদয়ে
কলকাতায় চিকিৎসা না করে বাইরে কোথাও নিলে।
মা হয়তো আজও থাকতো বেঁচে সুস্থ সবল ভাবে
চোখের জলে বিদায় দিলেম এই কথা স্মরণ করে।
কলকাতায় ভিটাবাড়িতে বেড়াতে এসে একি পরিনাম
জীবনটা হারালো এক নিছক অসুস্থতায়।
আজও তাই অনুশোচনা হয় এই কথাটা ভেবে
বাঁচিয়ে রাখতে পারলাম না মাকে চিকিৎসারই দোষে।

Love is the splendour that mystifies me
A rainbow in the sky colours my mind
Rapture bosom in high-spirited glee
Blind by passion, beloved we enshrined
Romance, Zephyr on a hot humid day
Dawn of spring after each winter season
As butterflies draw toward flowers way
Lovers seek closeness for any reason
Amor, a warm bright light within our heart
Set ablaze or calmed at our partner’s touch
Twin flames share deeper connections by heart
True love grows yet stronger with time as such
Two souls entwine kin to fine tapestry
Soul mates share a bond of love happily

I took up the call
The command was made
Placed the receiver down
Hardened my resolve
Steadying my shivering nerves
I picked up the gun
Shot at the innocent man
He fell with a thud
Blood spurted from his chest
And ran down the floor
With my descent into Hell
I fell from Grace
My gut swiftly swirled
Downwards the twilight zone
A throne of skin and bone spoke
"Thine sin you must atone."

Bury me in the warmth of your embrace
Drown me in the scent of your skin
Let your lingering kisses feel like Heaven
Your beating heart is my home and haven
Making my fears disappear in the whispers of forever
Let our passions ignite our souls
Where two souls beyond bodies are lost
In everlasting love surpassing fantasy.

The gentle glow of candlelight
A glass of champagne to uplift my spirit
The hypnotic strains of Mozart in the background
Moonlight streaming through the open window
A soft breeze caressing my skin
Transport me to a romantic mood
When sweet poetry flows through my pen.

His life came to a ruinous end
Plummeted into insanity
The red-bearded painter
With his self-hatred, despair and desperation for understanding
He drank yellow paint thinking it would make him happy
Locked up in a mental asylum that would shatter any person’s self-belief
Deceived Vincent cut his earlobe in an unforeseen calamity
But he channelled the awful torment into beauty
Immaculate and sublime to find ecstasy in the ordinary
And in transforming the banal into a magical masterpiece
The Starry Night, Sunflowers, Self-Portrait, The Potato Eaters, Wheatfield with Crows, Irises, The Bedroom in Arles
Each a genius’s masterstroke into Eternity
A jumble of love, sorrow and rage
Painting the canvas in bold strokes as his heart and mind burst into flames
The King of colour, a whisper into the future unheard in his times
He died in a rut with voices all over his mind.
So, he picked up the gun
And the bullet went straight into his golden heart
Wonder how many colours lost their lives on that day?

Sifting through the sands of time
Ephemeral it fades away
As water flows down the river
It's constantly on the move
Time and tide waits for no one
Instead of lamenting the past
We should seize every moment
Fulfil our dreams and wishes
Till our time on this earth is over
And death knocks at our door.

Love came to me like a warm fire
Hugging me in a cold wintry night
As a burning bush you engulfed me
In your flames of desire
A little delay till our souls met
Never caused any harm
It was God's miracle
That brought us together in this cosmic bond
But it takes time to embrace the pain
Of not having you near
And loving you wholeheartedly strong.

I miss you
like the parched earth thirsts for the rain
I miss you
like the nightingale's song heralds the coming of spring
I miss you
like the night birds wait for the darkness to fall
I miss you
like a warm campfire in a chilly wintry night
I miss you
like the sunshine in a damp cloudy day
I miss you
infinitely in every possible way
Do you miss me like I do?
