POEM 1

=========

Deep blue sky without a cloud

crystal creek running below

toppling over pebbles, stones

creating music from distress.

Her life is simple

she knows her goal

she knows she will reach sea

and she will have to go.

Go through all the troubles

pass everything in way

her confidence acts as sail

and it makes her sing.

Her love is for every being,

earth, air and every living thing,

everyone can soothe himself

she keeps nothing for herself.

Have a joyful day!

love and hugs.

Thursday Rhymes 9.7.15

The shy bride

huddled in shawl

barely a teen

takes a peek at the train

half-hidden behind her guard,

her teenager husband,

as he surveys the train confidently,

looking for a spot

where he can place

his treasured bride.

One wonders from inside the train,

will they find some empty space

for sitting side by side

and enjoy this special ride!

poem 6

———————

Never hurt a heart looking for

Innocent, harmless, unselfish happiness

Such feelings are cherished by all

If you can’t give, don’t, but don’t snatch away.

Tomorrow that disappointed face

Full of anguish, maybe tears

Will certainly come back to haunt

Then it will be too late to regret.

For Tagore Rabikare Agnishatdal 7

Well, ever since reading in an article how English is slowly replacing vernacular languages I decided to try the two I know, Bengali and Hindi, Now, I don’t have a software that wont meddle with my computer and allow me to write in Hindi or Bengali so I tried another style, simply writing and taking photographs, that will perfectly fit with my style of poems mingled with paintings, so this is the first book of that style, at first Bengali poem, then English poem capturing its inner meaning. I have not used translation, so that those who are Bengali will be able to enjoy all 70 poems.

The first one is being published right now, today is Tagore’s birthday as per English calendar, 7th May 1861, we Bengalis celebrate his birthday on 25th Boisakh, that will fall, as usual on 9th May, by then the book will be out and I will share the links.

Its name is “For Tagore- Rabikare Agnishatdal”

poem 6

————————-

Fly again golden fairy

unfold your wings gently!

You folded your wings

and swore to never fly.

May be the skies betrayed you

the wind once failed you.

But don’t let that chain you

down to earth, the sky still calls you.
