On the ship of joy
Sail for your happiness

Reach on the island
Full of adventures

Adventure for love
Adventure for peace
Adventure for God
Adventure for oneness
with mother nature.

So many years
I saw a spark in his eyes and a genuine smile
After uploading his first poem on HP
I sat in front of my Prabhu

Asking for the answers of questions left unsolved

I saw a smile in his eyes

A living fossil
Outlined dinosaurs


A bridge between
Dinosaurs age and
modern age is cracking

It is cracking silently
No sound is heard

Once was so glorious
God called himself
Turtle God

The God of turtle
is  also sitting quiet

Is waiting for some miracle
to happen?

Is playing with His material
creations?
                   Or
Wish the tides of time to wash away His made castle

Wish the tides to clean the
World of sea shore
before He could start creating

        A NEW CASTLE

Apology is a good gesture
Of yours to mend the bond

Broken bonds always leave
behind the roots
Possibility to arise the love from shaken life

Do this before it get dry
It will soften the belt
Warmth of your love
melt the frozen lake

Kids came back from school
I was late in cooking food

Swiftly
I washed grapes
Served to my children sitting on bed

I switched on TV
As they enjoy Tom and Jerry

Sharing grapes and making fun

Soon my son realised
Someone strange sitting next to them

Sharing grapes and watching TV

Both became statue
Fear and tear in eyes

On the verge to cry
Could not understood what to try

I whispered
Leave room slowly
Leave room quietly

Both were holding me tightly

I took a sigh of relief
To see my children safe

It was huge male monkey
An uninvited guest!

We destroyed their jungle
Which made their life mingle

It made their life miserable
Can't we make it reversible?
Ash

Ash
I found ash
To rub on my skin
To hide all my beauty skills
No other mask needed
to safe myself
No tension of world's speculations
Long dead locks touching
earth
To make these a blanket to
sleep or make a head lock

Reached on a tough rock high mountain with all my efforts
Alone and alone only my own

Live in a small mouthed cave
To find my share of piece of peace
Dead ash is rubbed on future ash
No matter looked ugly or bad

Keep the memories of your love
in treasury of  your mind
No matter the love you lost
not found here

Once it was true as true as your breath
Not try to throw your love
Once you lived in present

Don't try to forget those love moments you lived in your heart

Let your new life enter in you
Hold its hand with new tune
of your music

Those memories and pain
will tell
you lived your life in full as full moon night

"A thing of beauty is joy for ever"
So keep your love memories alive

A unicorn of mind
Never get satisfied

Like beast in mystic stories
Trying to find a ******
who is waiting for her incarnation

Creates a fantastic imagery
of power and wealth
Is not as fantastic as sounds

Is not revered by Budha
an ancient Indian symbol
of monasticism

Controlled it when sprouting out of Bodhi tree

Which was not a natural beast
It was just  arduous earthly
desire

Your smile

I was fascinated by
the divinity every where
In His each creation

Went to
Search divinity
Research divinity
Discover divinity
Preserve divinity

Could not find a place
Without His divinity

That showed me path
to look inside me
Found the best place
To germinate divinity

Made my husband to sit with me
To listen the poems written by me

After each poem
I asked "How is it"
He kept on saying "good"

After few poems
Before I could read next
He left the place by saying

"No poetry can be better
than this"

That made me laugh for few seconds till joy tears come

As I knew
That was the best way to go away for him and
The  best way for me to vent out the emotions inside me

Two days before
I got one fraud call
"Your son is in our custody"
I answered annoyingly
"Ok, Keep with you"
Disconnected the call

My son was sleeping peacefully in my sight

They didn't call me again

When a massive super star
Get entangled with
The fate of small stars

It grew more
By absorbing
Their energy

Stars passing too close
That shines brightly
Shredded with
colourfull dreams
Before being consumed

Same what happens
In the life cycle of a
Blackhole

Hanging roots of love tree
are eager to touch the land of heart

To grow in a huge pure love tree
Ready to take nourish of care and touch

Let blossom the flowers
Let the scent go around

To send the signals to buzzing critters to exchange
the pollen grains of caress

But we shorten the roots of our love tree
To customize in our own way

Which makes love tree
A Bonsai plant in a tray

Yes I remembered
I entered in the cocoon of that dark hollowness

To runaway from the noises
Inside and outside

All was what
Like mind arrest

Nothing was visible
Nothing was feasible

Only a vaccum
Neither could I hear
Nor could I speak

An unending weeping
Which made me creeping

I saw you tapping
I saw your lip sync
I saw your signs of calling

You kept on waiting
Till I started responding

My cocoon was not broken forcefully
You allowed me to come out peacefully

See dear
Now I am not crawling like pupa
I am ready to take out nectar
I am converted into a butterfly of nature

I was lying on  the bed
"What happened mom"
Asked son

"Not feeling well "replied

He sat beside me
Held my hand
Started pressing my accupressure points

He knew it would comfort me

I closed my eyes
I was melted with few more
sad emotions
Which rolled down as tears
from the corners of eyes

He wiped them softly
And whispered
"Just relax
I am sitting here"

He started giving gentle strokes on my head
Gave a caressed kiss silently

I went to sleep

Next morning
I was fresh and light

I smiled
And sent a blessing
In  thee universe for him

The conflicts in ukrain and west Asia is matter of deep concern

High tension waves in middle East and Israel
Sending fire in bones

North Korea is threatening
to start nuclear war

Lives are at stake to loose life
It is a big challenge for all

We are sitting on Helium bomb
Once burst will gallop all lives

If they can initiate the fire
We can pray to cease fire

We may belong to different continents
We may have different tone

We may follow different religions
We may have different opinions

We should go for right cause
Come join together
to pray for peace
for all lives of our mother nature
One online msg of challan
Created a hot wave at home
Son was happy
It was not his
He caught his sister
for a challan of rupees thousand
A friend of her was sitting
without helmet behind her

Husband started giving
instructions very loudly
Buy two helmets
Each of you if you had to carry someone with you

They replied annoyingly
Not very practical dad
Who will keep, where to keep
Two helmets together

Son again replied
Chill dad
Not very big issue
It could happen to anyone
after all friends are friends
'ma will pay for it'
Hubby looked furious at me

I tried to calm everyone

Sent my daughter to her room to finish her charts
which she had to prepare for her teaching

Told my son
"You go for bathing
Geyser is showing red
You need not to be happy
If it is not your challan
this time"

"Everyone please
leave this room
It is time for my kids of tution"
Hubby left the room by saying
"Traffic rules are rules
to be followed religiously"

Everyone took dispersal
on my appeal for children
It was traffic rule offence
Although my daughter always follow rules
But one of her friend insisted her to drop her a place which was few yards away.

Sitting on the roof
Just in silence

Looking towards sky
No moon no star
A calm descending nightfall

Few fire flies moved around
I caught two of them
Made a chandelier
With both my hands

It made me raise from land
I was spell bound with
Beauty spread in and out

Wonderful to see

Swinging and singing
Must be reviving

I heard from
Grandpa in his stories
Telling but not preaching
his teachings through
a new weaving

Told me one day
There is one gaurd
Invisible and sitting
On your shoulder

Taking pictures of your
Every act good or bad
Keep it as evidence

For you can't deny
When you will be given
Judgement for your all deeds

So remember
You are watched
Every single minute
Chitragupta is a photographer
Who make reports of our deeds
with pictures

Juggling with emotions
Which to hold which to push

Eating, chewing, gnawing
and digesting
Fueling fire of thoughts

All the time ladder up and down to exercise what went
wrong

Levelling and balancing walk
To forgive and forget to smile upon life in front

Oranges and blue berries
of every rise and fall
Falling off scattered every where

Umbrella for hiding magic tricks for pain and touch me
not like plant

Settling down the every particle of life stirred vigorously to get a clear picturesque view of mind

Breeze is blowing
Giving me comfort and joy
Filling my breathe with its fragrance

But
O ' my dear breeze
Don't go near to my beloved's house
She will sense the scent of my breathing
It will remind her of all beautiful memories with me

She will cry
Her tears will flow through
my eyes
O' dear breeze don't go to  my beloved's house

Sheikh Hasina flees her country
We are giving her time and space

Dhaka is objecting her presence
Showing its grievance

We are not in hurry
She can stay as long as in worry

The situation is still evolving
We are nothing new solving

Officials says
"we cannot turn away our old friend
Till  the worst situation comes to an end"

That I know
You were student
I was teacher
In the same school
On the same way

I was math teacher
Teaching in higher classes
You were a cute kid in primary classes

I may not remember all
But I must went in your classes
As a substitute teacher

Must had not seen in your eyes
But must went through the scent of your persona

Many incidents teachers pass through
But these are the students who could recall those stories
they went through

The seeds of your cuteness
Left impression in that invisible world of existence

Almost after twenty five years
Fine roots of those personalities get entangled
To complete the circle of timeless time

That I remembered in a crystal clear way
How did you call me "ma"
respectfully
In those few conversations

I proud to see you
Wearing a crown
Embedded with diamonds
Of many successes

Thank you for calling
Math teacher of your school

Sometimes
Come across a smile
From unfamiliar face
Before you could even smile
They left the place
But those smiles
are hanged on the
Door of heart
Gives a ringing chime
Which makes you smile

Grand father knows
His end is near
But he has no fear

He prepared his will
Taught me few skills

When I die
Don't cry
Take me to PGI

Donate my body
My liver is right
My kidneys are bright
My eyes have sight

Don't waste time
If organs not chime

Still it will be good for research
How this old man go for long life search

When they return my body
Take me for electric cremation

I don't want to cut down any tree
To make my body free

You are played on chess
You are placed on chess

They laughed on your chastity
They played with your beauty

You are questioned for your purity
You are neglected for your curiousity

You called for protection
You asked for judgement
You called them to show their bravery
You questioned for their promises

No one stood to fight for you
No one took sword to cut
those brutal heads
To mute those shameless laughs

"Nothing is changed
Thousands years passed
Still I am standing there
With those ***** hands
Ripping my cloth
To shatter my honour
In the assembly of most honoured"

She cried a lot
As her play went wrong
One scene was missed
to find the dress kept on drum

Dress which was to change
was misplaced by someone to disarrange the things

She cried a lot
Nothing went wrong
Mentor told in good tone

But she cried a lot
Spectators did not know
any thing missed

But she said
"I am not crying for them
I am crying for me
Which I missed was precious to me"

Standing on the edge of mountains
In those beautiful valleys

Tried to test echo
Which was studied in science classes

I called
Keep on smiling
Eco was heard in broader wedge

I called for happiness
Happiness was spread in surroundings

I called loudly
Love me
Love was sent back
From every electron of those valleys

Try all these beautiful words
In the valley of universe

All echoes will reach in your soul
With high frequency

Passing through a tough test
by God
Every calm and serenity is
shaken very hard
Green grass of tranquility

Full moon of peace is under

Still a ray of hope thru
Baily's drop of solar's eclipse

Don't judge people
By listening from others

Don't spread rumour
If someone is passing in your ear

Be a good listener
When other is in fright

Be a good motivator
If one is looking towards your eyes

Hold someone's hand
When there is emotional breakdown.

Embrace someone
When one needs love and care

Mehandi art on both hands
Revive my olden days
Aroma of it stir the emotions
Settled in the bottom

Reminds me of my mother in law
Kept on waiting
Sitting in the park in front
The moment she saw
gave me call to make a bowl
full of tea
Took each sip with taste and proud
In front of her age group friends
Told me to touch the feet
of each of her friend
I also obeyed to make her
happy
She felt so proud
and told her friends
"See my daughter in law listen to me"
I smiled with them to take
all her blessings.
She also sometimes showed
her authority
By taking my side
by scolding her son and
husband in front of me
I miss her today
I lost her on 25 September 2012
