Now I Catch The Wave..

Now I catch the wave from Ether,
And fill in it the particles of tear;
With hope, I float my mail in the air!

I wait for the reply for hours,
My tired seat tells me here
Whose love do you nurse?

I remain wordless, I know a few
Can say like you: Take my heart
Don't want anything in lieu!

I touch those lovely words,
I rear them with great care;
To join them as my parts!

A sudden flash makes it clear__
The sweet presence of ether
Can bring my friendship near.

What Will You Do?

If I play with kite,
if I roam as the princess
of Nature's reign,
if I give embrace,
to a loving tree,
if I kiss the sky,
if I like a sea-bird,
fly, high and high....
What will you do?
Will you kill me,
will you let out poison
of tongue? Let me see!
I'm the queen of Greenland,
where innocence loves innocent,
there's no king, no tyrant's step,
none is bowed, or spineless, bent.
Who are you to determine my lot,
to limit my steps, to preach,
and teach, the moral thought?
The two souls I love, they never teach,

100s Of Years

Trees can live for hundreds of years,
They well know to live together!
They tuft to earth, as child's to mom,
Light, water, and air they do share!
When storm does come they low their heads,
To show him respect out of fear!
The branches welcome, greet and laugh.
Leaves dance with the beat of the air.
The roots sometimes, take hold of each,
Thus, they make bridge, over the ditch.
What men ignore, they may do care
And mend that always, just to teach.
They whisper, and send their message,
Thru breeze, and soil, thru ether-
If nature lives, then all can live...
We should do that which can help her.
Hundreds, hundreds years they can live,
In warm friendship, fraternity.
But, we, intelligent creatures,
Can't keep this nature's sanctity!

No Star I Can See

There is no star,
Which I can see
From my window...
Boundless darkness
Is here in the
Chest of night.
The painted sky,
I saw in the daylight
Now is wiped away
As my last poem
I wrote but made
it vanish from
The page, because
It couldn't tell
The blank story,
Of my desolate
Life...no star
Still is visible
From this window..
Someone has spread

At That Scary Night

As if, curfew, prevailed at that scary night.
In stillness, I heard a cranky sound of fright.
Waking up I looked through my open window,
Did I see a man or his ghostly shadow?
A blackbird flew over age old Maple tree.
The moon behind the cloud could not be free.
The waning light fell, on my tired cold bed,
The shadow, pushed in my room his demon head.
Leaves of Oak danced without any blowing wind.
My sleep and peace of mind thus simply got ruined.
‘Who is there? '-I asked in shivering fearful voice.
Canine teeth shined and flashed a pair of green eyes,
Then, dog wailed and moaned behind my house's hedge.
But, I could not gather all my lost courage.
Pressing the Cross uttered I—‘ My Lord save me.'
Vanished ghostly shadow, no more I did see.

Not Here

Pensiveness touches me,
When the last ray of the
Sun, flutters its wings,
to fly away from this,
Woeful day...........
The green darkness,
Sits beside me to knock,
Me with the words-- not
Here, not here is your,
Root in the melancholic
Present, the shady yard,
The monotonous crickets,
The homeward birds declare--
This evening has approached,
As a must, inevitably as
Destiny drowns a good
Swimmer! I can't move,
From the far-stretched,
Growing night...........
My childhood days creep back,

In Your Absence

I loved you as a dew-drop,
loves buds to help,
Them to bloom, a bird
loves the sky, the grass-hopper,
wishes to be one with,
nature being green like her.......
I wanted to be the morning
breeze to sway the branches,
Of the trees, the heads
of grasses, or to run along,
The meadows merrily!
Nature doesn't dance,
with the tune of lust!
So, do I! The music of
heart, the storm of
the screaming souls,
mesmerize me with the
same attraction!
In your absence in
my heart, I feel like

To Quench Your Lust

The lust for life
hasn't brought them
all to the life of
muddy, hellish dark
lanes, murky alleys,
They also dream of home
and hearth, of happiness,
of a blissful yard.
The greedy eyes of
flesh-lovers bring for
them only buck, disease
and shattered pieces
of dream...
The music of their lives
stopped long ago,
when they first
compelled to sell
their virginity,
to quench your lust!
They are marked

He Walked To The Gallows Firmly(A Tribute To Khudiram Bose-The First Martyr Of Armed Freedom Movement)

He walked to the gallows,
Firmly and cheerfully and
Even smiled when the cap,
Was drawn over his head!
Though failed mission,
He was the first torch-bearer,
Of Fiery-age of Indian-freedom-movement.
At that age of eighteen,
When boys beguile time in
Day-dreaming, thinking of career,
He took pistol in his hand,
To liberate mother-land from,
The tyrants' clutch!
But, mistakenly, he and,
Prafulla Chaki, ended two,
Innocent lives! .......
Chaki took his own life,
And Khudiram, as a chained lion,
Did not bow his head.
He was sentenced to,

Didn't Care

You didn't care,
when I was alone,
fighting with,
me in your absence.
You didn't share,
your laughter, grief,
your sojourn...
I knitted a sweater,
for you,
with white and
sky blue.
You didn't come in winter.
Still now, it's with me.
You know, I have in my hair,
a flash of silver white!
Soon, I'll need spec,
to read your poems.
Oh! I forgot to tell,
you one thing, hmm.silly
though, no won't tell,
