What you learn is what you earn!

When the inner light outshines the outer glow,
The sun shines brighter but fails to lighten up
Yet the invisible blaze in all its glory burns off
And those bold red carnations embellish the bouquet no more
To build dreams, to craft magic
You open the Pandora’s box only to discover some fathomless vagueness
Because, that’s what you learn and that’s what you earn
In the end
To fill up your treasure trove!

When the musical soiree fails to enliven the right spirits
And the torpid strumming makes no music
Let the fingers bleed but bottle up your conscience
Touch the darkness but fake that smile
Play with words but keep them vague
For we all need that vagueness now
To accept, grow and know
That even sunshine burns you out if you get that too much!
…and to learn
What you let loose, loses direction
And what you hold tight is not yours…

A Road to Destiny...

A journey that is long enough
The road crossed by few
When the less chosen path beckons with open arms
I choose to walk the new…


Don’t know where the road leads to
Through the mist and the dust
But I know the road will take us where
Need to reach, we must.


Some staccato lines here and there
Some words soaked in dew
Some memories though gather perennial dust
Some feelings will forever be new.


Walk alone the lonely path
Or together, if you may
Ask the questions to your inner self
Listen what it has to say…


The desolate road takes twists and turns
Endure it, anyway
For it can take you to the rainbow, 
May be someday!

Mindgame Unsolved...

A game of cards, a game of words, a war of conscience, the queen of hearts 
A burning faith, the words unsaid, a glorious loss, the king of spades.


Check ‘n mate, a complex fate, a life of chess, a baffling mess.
A secret riddle, a jigsaw puzzle, a game unsolved, found and lost.


A pint of beer, a joyful cheer, up on a high, a sheenless sigh!
The winking eye, a blatant lie, befooled some, all but one.


A perplexed mind, a life on grind, a roving ramble, a confused gamble, 
An abrupt bend, a different end, none at fault, the game is stalled...

Won’t ever know

I can write that song for you tonight
Only you won’t ever know
No discreet words to adorn my verses
No hypocrisy to show…

I’ll better keep those lines to me
Closely clutched upon my heart
If ever they run helter-skelter
If my world moves apart…

I’ll still fill the song in me
In my mind and my soul
In my dreams will I live the words
On a lonely night stroll…

You can’t ever feel the tune
Resonating in the breeze,
In the rains, on the starry nights
In life’s trough and ridge…

I’ll still hold the song forever with me
Words kept simple but true
Only you won’t ever know
The song was just for you!

You are still alive…


The storm when blows in a fit of fury
The words of wisdom stand shrouded in glory
The rustle of dead leaves heaped on the floor
Does not cease to rush in through the room’s door…

The pattering raindrops on moist window panes
The honking horns speed across the memory lanes
The magical clap sticks played by the cloud
The words that were once lived but never said aloud...

The soporific solitude that liberates the soul
A tranquil mind is only part of the whole
The bit that is left keeps searching in the dark
 If any serenity is still left in the spark!

A beam of faith stands so near, yet so far
Convictions ever will be what they always are
Standing at crossroads when you are lost in your dreams
You are still awake my dear, is all what it seems…



Yes, you are still alive!

একটা দিন...



একটা দিন, মেঘবিহীন 

আলতো  রোদ
একতা রাত, বৃষ্টিপাত
কন্ঠরোধ
ফেরারী মন , ফেরে যখন
ঘরের কোণ
শান্ত হাত , স্নিগ্ধ তাপ
আপনজন
নদীর পাড় , ধেউএর  ধার
ভাঙছে বাঁধ
একলা ঘর , বালির চর
অলীক সাধ
সূর্যস্নান , হচ্ছে ম্লান
স্বপ্নপুর
একটা পথ , নিচ্ছে বাঁক
অনেক দূর
বাউল গান, ভরছে প্রাণ
ইচ্ছেরা
গানের রেশ , লাগছে বেশ
একতারা
ভোরের ডাক , বেঁচেই থাক
স্বপ্নেরা
মনের ভুল , খোঁপার ফুল
মুখচোরা
আলোর সাজ , ঢাকছে আজ
চতুর্দিক
জমকালো , সেই আলোই
মিলিয়ে দিক।

One more...


When the mist of melancholy fills the soul,
When the bold neat starts to take its toll
When the dead dark nights refuse to end
I need one, may be just one more…

When the road to doom stretches far too long
When the path to bliss starts playing along
When agony and ecstasy walk hand in hand
I need one, may be just one more…

When the doe-eyed girl starts singing a song
When she knows not if it’s right or wrong
When the divine tune is crossing her soul
I need one, may be just one more…

When the price for truth is just too much
When some lost moments are hard to touch
When silent tears hit the core
All I need is just one more…
