Love-1


All events are not the same
so all events do not create cry

some events
occurrence
create the cry
but not all the time

some events
which are creating cry at this time
tomorrow are not

which failure made me cry
today is not
which rain made me cry
today is not
which love made me cry
today is not

So after many days
i want to love you again



love-2


If i start begging,
If i start a song,
shall i get love?
can i play along?

If i start driving without destination,
If i see you in a rail station,
will you talk with me,
having a cup of tea?

I don't know,
i have no trust.
I am flying in the air,
like my emotion is covered with dust.



Love-3


i can love
i can do everything for love
what i can do for love
you can not believe

you can not believe
or you can not receive my love
i can love
but you are not appropriate for my love
you are not credible or reliable for my love

just see
when i touch the dew on the leaves
dews fall down
or when i touch the touch me not plant
you are shy

i am afraid of your shyness
i am afraid of your falling down

so now i know i can love you
but you are not eligible for love me


Wise man


- Who is your friend?
- Loneliness.

- What were you doing at that time?
- playing flute of holiness.

- I am also and then?
- Clouds appear at the sky again and again.

- What were you doing then?
- After putting the dry clothes I roam from home like a wise man.


I want to touch you


Just for once I want to touch you
Then I will be something new

something like a green leaf
or may be grass you don't believe

may be beat of your heart
may be the colours of your art

may be rain or wave of the sea
may be the loneliness of a tree

I want to touch you just for once
Then i shall be the history of one's

history of loneliness or history of a rain drop
or the paddy field of a farmer or crop


If i get love


If i get love
i shall sing
like a gentle dove

i shall walk and walk
at night
i shall fly
like a kite

If i get love
or if you love me
i shall swim at the sea

i shall be blue of the sky
you will see me at your eye


Red eyes


Why are you tensed
to see my red eyes
What are you thinking
about our lovely ties
Don't look at me
see the skies
also see the red colours
when the sun rise


Why are you tensed
to see my red eyes
see the red flower
no sign of cries
look at the dawn
Is not your surprise
day and night meet there
you can revise


Give me a word


Give me a word
that is simple and like water
to occupy love
as a squatter

Give me a word
that is free and like a flower
and my happiness
want to spread over

Give me a word
that is white and sharp
i am that hero
playing the harp


Male chauvinism


Boy said-

You are beautiful like a bird,
flying in the sky, sky is my heart.

Girl said-

You are smart like a sky,
everyday, every times I want to fly.


Yesterday



yesterday it was full of moonlight
yesterday she was by my side

yesterday moonlight lay down beside me
yesterday another was sleeping at my bedroom
that was she

yesterday i roused from sleep
yesterday she was not at my room
seeing moonlights that weep


Poor Moon


Everywhere where i am going
moon is also with me

I want to play a hide-and-seek
but don't

wherever i go
see that
moon is laughing to see me

Moon is always at my side
watching me
caring me
talking to me

i can not hide myself from moon

Moon is as my mother


Rape


Every movie have to take a rape scene
Because it is commercial
Because people want to see this
Movie will not be commercially benefited
if rape scene is not taken

So we want to see the rape scene
want to get pleasure to see the rape scene

The girl was seen as a loud piercing outcry
The girl was seen to drown at the sea
The girl was seen to save herself at last
The girl was seen to cry for living

We got pleasure from these
We get pleasure from these
We shall get pleasure from these...


Love me


A man was shivering with cold
wrapping up a torn bed cover
on a road

Many peoples are passing the path
They are dressy

But the man was shivering with cold

I am that man
Lovely girl
Please love me
and embrace me with kiss
I am going to die with cold


So i should always look at me


[When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
-Friedrich Nietzsche]


Someone try to hack my mail account
sometimes someone hacked the account
someone knows the everything of my mail

someone try to know me
someone try to know everything about me
someone may be know everything about me

i don't know who hacked me
i don't know how to know them
i know only me

so i always look at me
so i should always look at me
I have no time for love


i have no time for love
because someone has bought me
i am busy not for me
for others
who have bought me

i have no time for love
sometimes i fall in love
but trust me
this is not me
someone
who has bought me

i have no time for love
because
love is now the matter of buy and sell
trust me
i have no love
only have the techniques
how to buy and sell the products


A Scene


When the dew is going to be disappeared

he just prays for the leaf

where he was

when i am saying you

Good bye

just pray for you

where i was


Contrast


sometimes i think i miss my life
i miss my love, emotion and laugh

sometimes i think i am OK
i am all right now
and better
when i see
a blind couple is talking with each other
with laugh


Art


Government needs huge land for building art academy.

For this,
government has been uprooted us.

Now we have no land.

No land to live.

Government needs police,
Government needs army,
to protect the art academy.

Although they know we have no arms,
we have no voice,
we have not a simple power to say that,
these lands are our.

Many artists,
many poets,
many philosophers will come to art academy.

Administration is fully concerned.

No incident will happen there.

Government needs more lands for constructing art academy.


Shirt's pocket



Your heart is not far from your shirt's pocket

where you put money.

You have given many times for the money,

for depositing money,

for better living.

But not a single moment for your heart.

Look into your heart

how to feel,
how to view the world;

you can live more better.


Advertisement


All advertisements are beautiful.

All advertisements,

model girl and boys on the bill boards are so nice.

their smile,
face,
body

everything is beautiful.

Even the poor people,
advertisement for aids,
are beautiful.

but no faces are real,
and also the poor people are not true.

These are only advertisements.

Only advertisement are real.

Advertisement can hide everything,

also the human civilization.


Laugh


wherever he is poor
may be he is hungry today
may be his face will be pale after taking photograph

Yet he laughs
laughing like a dew drops in the leaf

nobody understands his poverty or hungriness
by seeing his photograph

although poverty
although hungriness
although struggle

Man always want to see his face

laughing


Poor Girl


poor girls are not beautiful

because poor girls are weak
poor girls are shrunk
their body has emaciated
even their b***s are sapless.

and also their smile
does not laugh like flowers.

because they are poor.


Friend


Friend
i know when you place your hands on my hands
when you put your eyes on my eyes

i know you take many loans
but cannot pay back

your child has gone to the spoiled

i know your girl doesn't return home at night
your wife doesn’t want to speak you lovely

you cannot sleep at the night
i know
please place your hands on my hands
put your eyes on my eyes
and cry

only crying can make you light
you will be more light to speak with me


Slum tourism


Many telephone cables

over the slum dwellers

many many words are passing

over the slum dwellers

but nobody knows

or want to know

about them


You and me


when i am going to sleep
want to embrace
but you bothered

may be you don't know
i don't want to a dream
walking lonely

when i am going to walk in the park
want to walk hand on hand
but you feel disturbed

may be you don't know
i don't want to loose you
even for a single moment

When a man dies


When a star falls, a man dies

star becomes the tree

tree has the green leaves and beautiful flowers

flowers spread from one place to another

one man dies

but laughing thousand flowers


Waiting


I wait for many things. My lover, dream or revolution. I wait for that boy who once called me dad subconsciously, I wait for that river, where I learned how to swim. I wait for that stolen friend, who once said I should be with you all ever.
Sometimes I wait sitting at the bench of a park, sometimes at the rail station or sometimes at the main road where people wait for their relatives or others. I wait, because I think, may be, I shall get of those.
I feel good when I wait. May be, I shall never get of those, therefore i wait. Waiting which is like a poison for someone, becoming honey in my life day by day as dream.


Backbone


You have also backbone
trust me
you have also backbone
just see
the standing of grasses
after crushing by foot



Flood


Flood wash away all

my memories, my love, my thinking

Flood wash away all thing in such a way

Nobody knows

which type of water has come here

in my room

Nobody knows

which type of words in my hearts

creating boom.



Emotional tree



I want to climb a emotional tree
where i want to laugh
want to cry
want to speak

I want to climb a emotional tree,
where a snake comes to bite me.


Kingfisher



You look nice
like a kingfisher
will you kill me
oh my dear
Changing
Changing can rob everything

You, your wife, your child

everything slowly

and changing laugh boisterously


Two lines


I have made a dark place
I want to see here your face.
