Hakikur Rahman

The stars in the night sky
glow with glitter
Spreads the game of light and darkness
talk about the existence of God.

Very distant from this planet
far far away
They are many light years away
from here too far away.

Yet everyone adheres to the rules
revolve around their peripheries.

There are more stars in this universe
Whose light has not yet come
In the lap of this planet.

Come what may.

Can't manage my own memory,
fading.
Deteriorating.
Smoked too much,
consequences are all I have.
The herb has given me peace,
now without it
I can't be at ease.

I cannot see better days ahead,
what am I gonna do about it?
I cannot say.
When I close my eyes, I'm filled with nothing but dread.
**** it, come what may.

Kumupas na pangarap

Paano ba mag simula uli?
Paano ba muling ma haling sa dating pinapangarap?
Ang musikang inaalay sa mga makikinig,
ang mga linya't katagang tumatagos sa damdamin ng iba.
Kelan ba ito papangaraping muli?
Kelan ba mag-aalay muli?
Ngayon? Bukas? O wag nalang kaya?

Ang dating silakbo ng damdamin sa musika, nasaan na?
Nangangarap paring ito ay bumalik.
Sa tuwing hinahagkan ko ang aking instrumento,
umaasang ako'y muling masabik.
Umaasang muli.
Nangangarap uli.

Hanggang sa muli,
aking pinangarap.

Aparna

betwixt and between

betwixt ivy-clad cinder walls
seamless, infinite darkness
leaves aligning,
tendrils twirling unbeknownst
whilst syphid wisps shadowed
tangled wilderness
nightly haze conformed
as sombre forms arose

virtual journal/poetry stash

been awhile.

Um

intransigence,
streets refusing rain,
all syllables march back
into my mouth;
i'm drowning.
