poem
POETRY / October: An unfinished poem
Glamorous lightweight raindrops from the October sky keep
POETRY / Silence
A star fell on the ground in the windy night
POETRY / Republic of the dead
As if playing a game of chess / Still the world waits for the next dawn
POETRY / Birth of a poem
Hark! / Busy work of Hands
POETRY / Carpe diem
but i can't. i cannot be bothered to find / meaning behind the faults in my father's eyes
POETRY / My heart's longevity comes from my maa's magnifying kindness
Maa, you are an endless exhibition / of sweet-sour happiness
I heard they are changing the dictionary
I heard they are changing the dictionary.
When the streetlights flicker, think of revolution
When the streetlights flicker, think of every doe-eyed child that the city swallows
POETRY / Anger and other blessings
A walkway through the crystal-clear lies
Anonto prem
I wove necklaces of lyrics/ Which you'd wear beautifully
A building, a tree, and a kid
Buckets of water I pour on my head; my vision gets blurry./ "The blurrier, the merrier", my mother said.
Saree
The yard in this noontime is buzzing with/ The white aroma of the guava flower
Heartache
I’m going through a heartbreak
Cyan is my name when I talk about you
I'm tired of living with this nagging thought that we'll cross paths someday, /You and I
Seventeen
Seventeen Springs cloaked in December, Have flown by.
Relaxed reminiscences
(For Lutfa, Nayeem, and Aarong Herbal Hair Pack)
The hills
They say the hills have eyes Iridescent, all knowing, and deathlike.
A Desire or death eats away at my corpse. You are basking in the sun
Do you want my hands/ Will they be enough to keep you warm
Can loneliness be a disease?
Am I allowed to hold on to you? / But you are waves of serendipity, / Moving forward in each clutch
