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 ti
me 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 boobs 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.
