Unwritten
Debanjana Saha Aug 2017
There are feelings
To be written
But when it looks like a force fit
It's better to be unwritten!
There are so many feelings to be expressed but sometimes it is better to keep quiet and wait until it makes some sense.

Hello Day
Debanjana Saha Nov 2017
Hi
Hello
To all of you!
It's a hello day
Sending greetings
from all across
No barriers
No lines
A hello for peace
A hello for knowing you
a little more.
A hello from my heart
Accompanied by a smile.
On World Hello Day, thought of wishing everyone hello with a smile..

Meaning of Love!
Debanjana Saha Oct 2017
What is love?

I call it you.
A soul of you
Resides within me
To make me fly around you
You come to meet me
To be with me
I feel blessed to have you
Although I would never tell you
That I love you
But my meaning of love
Is you..and to keep loving you.

You keep coming back
To meet me from far off
And I come to meet you into your soul
Hug me tightly and let me in,
I would always be there


To be a part of you.
Waiting for a true meaning of love in life. Meanwhile, creating meaning to my life and busy loving my own self until I find someone to love & be loved.

Questions in silence

Stupid Fear
Debanjana Saha Jul 2017
I will not let you be my part
1, 2,3 and several others
I will keep overcoming
One after the other.

Each one I choose a fear,
and me in my cocoon
ready to break free all the barriers!
To let myself live
and
to undo all
my fears!!
Fear is so much ingrained in me deeply that I have started hating it to its core. I don not know how it will leave me..But I am challenging it each day by overcoming one fear after the other

Sea waves
Debanjana Saha Jul 2017
The big sea waves
Seems like
They will wash me away
With all the other things
Left in pieces.
And the moment
It’s too close to even predict
I put my feet into the sand
deeper than earlier.
The waves come
and goes by,
Without moving me a bit or so
Playing with me
All over again and again
As a never-ending game.

A learning at the end
A problem However frightening
or unpredictable it may seem
too close to even think
But we must make
our roots strong
to survive
the sudden
outward disturbances
Or pain without
washing away ourselves
In-between the play of the game.

Sea waves teaching the game of living life.

My own grave
Debanjana Saha Aug 2018
Negativity is bad

I know it, you know it

Whole world knows it.

But it kills.

To every positive side,

I see a unique negative side.

Affects me in every way.

Basically I do not care

My absence won't make difference

Each step I take

I feel I am backward.

Yes, suicidal I feel

But I try to overcome

Burning every other bridge

I always feel,

No one needs me

And my purpose is fading.

There are highly talented people

What is my need

It's sad that many saw talent in me

But I saw little which kept on diminishing.

I love my family,

I love my friends- one or two.

I might not say bye

As it might be disturbing.

But I am lost and

no more feel the urge.
Negative impact in my life is too much. I am down with it. Just outbursting here.

End of Celebration
Debanjana Saha Sep 2017
A celebration ends
*And we celebrate it
with laughter,
joy, and a bit of sadness
but only with the hope
in our eyes
that the rejoicing moments
would come back again
and fill us with all happy moments
all over again.
A celebration begins giving us all happy moments with family and rituals of goodness. But as it end, we celebrate it again in the hopes that it will come back to us once again.

Break down
Debanjana Saha Jul 2018
What to do after a huge break down?

To lay down
Sob as much as possible
To feel nothing
To do nothing
Days, months,
years passing by
To look dull
Unloved
Self-Pity
Unworthy
Play the victim
Fall again and again
Without others noticing
To support back
Stop looking for support at all!

After all the process,
One night
Or one morning
Get up and take charge
Not for others
Not for others
But for oneself
And giving the permission
To oneself
To fall again
And again
But to stand back
And smile
Looking into the mirror
With eyes full of love!
There are days when you fall back
Not knowing what to do
But there are also days when
Not knowing doesn't matter
What matters is to get up
And take charge!

Artful pain
Debanjana Saha Feb 2018
Let my
scars
bruises
wounds

Speak of my love
My love for art
Along with poetry
Defines my soul
And nonetheless
My love for each
One of you
Makes me feel the
beauty from inside.

I can't feel less
I am sorry for that
I only know how to feel
Every detail of life
Whether pain or sorrow
No wonder
I can't shut my eyes.
I only know how to feel
Define it through my work of art!
Love for art. Art and poetry helps me to survive each day. It defines my day from cloudy dark nights to a night full of stars. My love has always been art and poetry writing.

Depression
Debanjana Saha Oct 2017
De
Press
On

No
pity

But
Only to
count
Upon
Love
In reverse
And
Forward gear!

Acceleration
In motion
Sometimes breaks
Crashes
Breakdown
Accidents

Fixed again
Repaired
Moving again
Until
It crashes again!
Out of depression
Was finding meaning
In the constant flow of depression.
A river depression, never stops or disappears. It might get dried up a bit but with rain or other sources, it returns back again. Does depression helps in something? Curious in a way, everything has some benefits. What if depression has a positive side too? Just wondering out of the blue.

Happy to be an Indian
Debanjana Saha Aug 2018
This Independence day
I pledge to be-
Be Bold
Be Joyful
Be Helpful
Be Creative
Be A Better Me
Be Independent

Happy Indian Independence Day!
We as Indians are celebrating our 72nd Independence Day and on this auspicious day I thought to celebrate it little differently, in my own way. To contribute a thought to make myself efficient not just for my country but for a better world in small little things whatever I do.

No more crawling back
Debanjana Saha Sep 2018
I crawled for loved
I crawled for people to stay back
I crawled for food to share
I crawled for things to bear
I crawled for hope in life
I crawled for smiles and care

Now no more crawling back
Let me get back and be within me
And help the ones who still crawls
To be cared and loved.
There are so many children who are unloced, who are orphans, who have every right to complain but all they do is adjust and smile!

Protect the soul
Debanjana Saha Aug 2018
All the trails
In my life
Taught me to be true
True to oneself
It's not always the depression
Or loneliness that pesters you away.

It's the love for oneself
To be created with tender hands
And to realize that it's okay
To be with oneself
And celebrate days to come
With a shield in hand
And a smile never fading away.
Life each day comes with surprises as well as shocks. Yesterday I thought I might love someone, today I have realized that loving oneself is more than enough to spread the same love to others.

A Substitute
Debanjana Saha Jul 2017
I see people resigning
at workplace
and within a day a two
their place is substituted
by somebody unknown!

No emotions
Just laughter
and machine work
all across!
A vast space
filled with
empty emotions
hard to breath!
Chokes me out
every other day!

I wonder!
Should I cut
my emotions too?
And be the machine
just the way it works out
until exhausted to its brim!!
Recently my Team lead resigned with whom I was really close
and each day I feel going to office is like going to an empty nest.
Company finds substitute but not me! Miss him every single day!

In fever
Debanjana Saha Aug 2017
In fever I thought
When unable to get up at all
Like a tortoise I walked
Thinking all over again
What is life all about?

Remembered all my loved ones
But found only myself in solace
Care transferred through calls & texts.
Again asked myself
What is life all about?
There are thoughts about life
Is my life good enough.
I suppose each one of us think the same
To utilize time and make themselves better for the future life.

No more Art!
Debanjana Saha Aug 2019
Why to express
For whom should I
create it for?

I liked creating cute forms of art.
No, not anymore!
It's has always been a mirage
My life might turn cute,
If I visualize it that way!

But anyways,
I didn't understand
untill now that

"A mirage is never real!"

Why to even make art?
Whom to express to?
And for whom?
It doesn't even
Matter!
Tell me someone, why to even make art that my existence doesn't even count!

Empty love
Debanjana Saha Jun 2017
I am in a dilemma
whether I can ever love!
The scars which I received
while loving someone
made me more like a stone
unable to speak the love tone.

I disappoint everyone
friends and family shower love
but while expecting
I am unable to return back
any love.

I feel I am bad at relationships
can't love anyone with all my heart
I move away all the time
draining out while resisting
to all which could be mine

But I can't love
can't love any longer.
I have lost myself
somewhere, where I can't
find at all.
to love but how when I am empty inside!
287 · Oct 2017
Forever left
Debanjana Saha Oct 2017
It has been a year
When you left me
empty handed forever
With all memories
Crushed & smashed!
I know I have mood swings
Every other day.
I am not easy to be with
You left me and never looked back.
I understand your choice as I am myself struggling to be with myself all along the way.
You asked me to improve
Said me I am a pure soul but still you never came back.
And after exactly a year,
when tears are rolling down my cheeks making an ocean out of droplets,
I am thinking what's the point in being a pure soul when you are not around?
You said do not chase people,
As the right people will come and stay.
I guess right people don't exists
And wrong people never stays!
Still empty handed, yet with life's responsibilities.
I rather would never come out of depression, and this became a fact.
But I am done seeking for love
And finding no more clues who likes me or not.
You know what, I am done.
Sorry but had to vent it out. Sometimes it's not the poetry but just words talking to myself and find solace in words.
A year later, exactly same time I am looking back and forward. Figuring out only to be in the present, just to be and questioning life all over again. I understood depression very well, we don't want pity but just a bit of love to be around and that becomes more than enough like a magic potion to find life all over again.

How to be alone happily?
Debanjana Saha Oct 2017
I have googled it all
Asking random questions
To people and all
Reading more than ever
Writing my heart out
In pain, agony & distress.

How to do be alone
Happily and enjoy
my own company?

Adjusting myself to live
Somehow brings dreams and hopes
But all at once washed
Without a single sign.

I walk alone, to be alone
And to find alone
Me and my path!
I write to let my pain out
I cry no more as my tear had all dried up
Seeking for somebody to love me
As I am unable to love my own self. It's a wrong perception though, to find love rather than loving my own self!

Love notes
Debanjana Saha May 2017
I see love birds
everywhere around
singing love songs
to each other.

And my lonely soul
screams to its every throb
screaming for love
I found many
but only temporary ones.
Flying from one branch to the other
unhappy with every soul

Finally found love
a love, inside my own soul
caressing myself everyday
finally to make way
for myself.
Love notes to myself

Secret of healing
Debanjana Saha May 2017
Our office building
Is in the maintenance procedure
Lot of cracks and paints are out
So those are being fixed

How?

Cracks are made
to be more cracked
To fill up the whole
crack from beneath.

A thought sparked -
our hearts too, cracks
or breaks sometimes.
Let’s break it more
to heal it from beneath
and to be whole
filling up with love.

You & I
Debanjana Saha Apr 2019
For me,
you and I
Are perfectly Fit
for this time
But the
fear accommodates
In my mind. .

What will it
turn out to be
with time?
A question
which haunts me often,
tormenting
mostly at night.

You might say
not to think so much,
but I wish you
could understand
You are not a mere person
to hangout with.

You are more than that!
A friend, a companion
with whom I fell in love.
An asset for me
which remains
undefined!

Love you to the core.
There are times when people step into our love, and be there in we every moment until the time permits us. Later, in life, all over again we might not be this much close enough like now.

Cherishing the moments now
As with time
There is nothing
which escapes change.

Lonely by choice
Debanjana Saha Feb 2018
To be lonely or not to be?
A question that makes me tormented.
To be lonely, shows me the inner way
Not to be?Not sure whether things would work out!
Meanwhile, alone and
enjoying on my own.
With a nice treat of food
And a soft cone dipped in chocolate!
Few times being lonely sometimes is so soothing.

Castle of dreams
Debanjana Saha Mar 2017
Let me find my dreams back
To create my castle of shattered dreams.
This time, not for you, not for anyone I know.
But for me and only me!
Let everything fall apart but I will stand still with me and my dreams!
I dream of a paint brush or a pen with me,
never leaving my hand, creating and re-creating dreams with me.
Holding me and loving me tight with all their heart.
And I shall not leave them in winter, when its too cold or in summer when its unbearable warm, i will keep them safe with me regardless of all the season's fluctuating and blooming.
Our bond shall stay safe.
And I shall be for you and you shall be there for me,
you- ' my art within me'.
Dreams and my bond with art

One - sided love
Debanjana Saha Nov 2018
All my poetry
Spoke about you
Our friendship
And blooming of love
Which I once thought was true
But one sided love
Was all I could figure out
To be true
Now no more Poetry
No more laughter
No more cracking of jokes
No more eating out
No more night out

Let's me come back to my soul
And love myself on my own!
Love failure, a part of my life
But self- love is what I am still learning
To again be how I was. More cheerful and independent all by my own.

Let down
Debanjana Saha Apr 2017
Things didn't start well today
almost brought tears to my eyes
not that at workplace emotions works
but somehow have to get back
in working good to bad
and bad to good all over again...
I have raised my standard pretty high
but now with mistakes overloaded..
I doubt how to get back
after a huge fall?
My performance in workplace is getting low..and I get that..my work is not up to the marks for few days..really feeling upset about it..

Mysterious love for bridges
Debanjana Saha Apr 2017
As a child I always liked bridges
never knew why..
I grew up
& still I fall in love with bridges..
to see the unknown connection between all of us
unknown faces and glances but never finding us
I still love bridges, but now I know why!
My love for bridges always kept growing more..
Bridges connects us to a mystery, a mystery which is still unknown!

Another side of me
Debanjana Saha Mar 2017
I refuse to be into that darkness
I resist to be empty all over again
that hollowness into my heart
dragging me from behind.

I refuse to see that darkness
which does no harm
but hinders me to see the beauty in life.
that beauty which perishes soon into my darkness.

How do I get away from my own darkness?
I am still embracing it
But soon shall I break through everything
and pierce into myself to find that light!
within the Darkness & light

There is more to life..
Debanjana Saha Sep 2018
How do I make it better
How do I contribute in my own way?
How do I craft my creativity
To be someone of help.

My ways might be different
But how do I help
How do I actually fulfill my living

There is more than just me
There is us
There are all
And 'I' is just as small
In the ocean to be filled!
While going through hardships like others, I realized how do I be someone who can contribute in this life. A ray of hope beams and I figure that I am nothing at all.

Hi All,
Seeking for a friend, Pagan
With whom i have known
From this hellopoetry!

Its been long months
Since I could hear about you.
Does anybody knows
How you have been?

Long gone are those
Insights of your poetry
and thoughts about life!
Where have you been?

I know the coronavirus
has taken our lives at stakes
Hope is the only factor
I am still relying on
When everything at the moment
No longer serves security.

I hope you all are doing well.
Its been months since i spoke to any of you
Its so disturbing to even live this life in this uncertain times. Hope all of you are doing fine.
Take care.

Stabbed by reality
Debanjana Saha Jul 2017
I have stopped, stopping by
for the people all around.
Its me now in this lonely world
but with less of me in this soul.

Yes, I have stopped waiting
long enough that my heart has burnt all across
I have nothing more to win or to lose..

Just me,
my work
with the
ashes of my dreams.
Facing the harsh reality is very difficult where nothing is mine
which I can see or feel. stabbed by reality.

More of you

A friend you are
More than before
Fleets by time
Making me
wait for long
Hours,weeks,
months as it goes,
I wonder now
I have never waited
for someone for so long!

But the memories of you
keeps me intact
Though missing you
makes me unwell
out of nowhere.

The night walks with you
and the tight hugs
Under the blue moon
The laughter and
the long drives
Infinite memories
of you to recall.

Only with the hope that
I would see you soon!
A friend who is now a part of my universe. I dedicate this poetry to my friend.

Twinkling with more dreams to be fulfilled!

Unwanted to be!
Debanjana Saha Jul 2017
What happens
when you start feeling unwanted in your home?
A home which I thought
I could call mine.
The friends I thought
Would come along with me
But they come & go
As if they always wished
To leave.

Sometimes
I question myself
If I am so unwanted
They people leave
Whoever comes
close to me!

I'm tired,
tired of being alone,
Unwanted, unseen.
Better I stay away
Away from everyone.
Quiet all the time
How much more
Quiet everyone expects me
To be?
Tired of all sadness & depression.

Story of a flower
Debanjana Saha Jul 2017
Flowers of each color
Symbolizing emotions
In blooming pattern.
Bloom in each color
Every now and then
Flowers playing
the role within us.
Showing us
how we need to change
From yellow to red
then to white,
later to pink
all of a sudden!
A perception of change
with colorful entity each time.
Pick any color for yourself
And enjoy the free flowing drizzle
Of a colorful life!
I got many colorful flowers which
looked beautiful all together.
The flowers never wish to be only
white or blue, pink or red in color.
Rather we love them, as to vary
beautifully alone or together.
Be a flower of your kind!

Self-love
Debanjana Saha Sep 2017
I was never in good terms
with myself
Since I hit puberty
Why?
I had no answer to it.

But during my early childhood
I loved being with me.
Then what happened to that 'me'?

Somewhere lost..

Why?

Again I had no answers to it!

But I only know
That I went out in the midst
of harsh reality
In search of comfort & security
But hard luck!
I searched in wrong places
Only to find myself wounded
Again and again.

Until now, I was in denial that I exist
But now I am seeking for myself again
Trying to find that
comfort from within
And not outside.
Figuring out to be in better terms
With my own self.

Finally,

I am mildly in love with myself
With my silence all over again.
It has been days, months and years that I am in the process of accepting and loving my own self. It's so easy to see people all around how much they love themselves. I am trying all over again to provide the love which I once had for myself

Creating new memories
Debanjana Saha Nov 2018
And let me erase
All the beautiful memories
Painted by you for a while
And you might not even know
How much it hurts
With all the colors
Which I could
Ever bring to my life
With a change in life
Let me be a little more tough
And start mixing more colors
Creating the new ones
New life
New attire
New lanes
New dreams
New bridges
New memories
Altogether!
With changes in life
Let nothing hinder
From living your life
In new ways to contribute
To your living for others!

Things I can't to can
Debanjana Saha Sep 2018
Let's be honest
There are always
Can't which takes the
Front, back and mid seat
Leaving not much space for can.

But let this can enter a bit
It's always fearful
To let the newness enter
But without it
It's of no adventure!
Newness should be the goal.

Miss you
Debanjana Saha Aug 2017
I miss the night walking with you
The laughter and fooling around
and
Holding you tight
more than ever.
No doubt,
I miss the love of you
A treasure I have longed for
more than half of my life.

You make me wait
For months and hours long
And I wonder now
Do you wish to love me more
Or to spend the time
So as to forget your loneliness?
Loving someone feels so special
But figuring out that the person loves you back and waits for you the same way makes life special. Until then it's all about waiting. Wait with a purpose of living life in a better way

Move on

People move on
Like dust in the air

To fill up our holes beneath the heart.
People come into our lives
and they leave but what remains are
the memories for us to bloom!
