ক্লান্ত শরীর ব্যাস্ত যখন আরামখুঁজতে, দেখি বিছানা ময় তুমি।তোমার অশরীরি ঊপস্হিতিআমায় করলো কোণঠাসা, তবু ওতোমাকে চাই। ওগো রাত জাগানিয়া, তোমার সঙ্গেমিশবো বলে, আজ নিদ্রা বিরাম।এ কোণ থেকে ও কোণ, শুধু মাখা মাখি—তোমার জন্য সব গন্ন্জনা মেনে নিলাম । জানি তোমার অভিমান কঠিন, তাই তো বলি সাহস করে একদিন সকালে এসো,থেকো অনেক্ষণ। কিন্তু আজ তুমি অনন্য।প্রখর দিপ্তিময়।তুমি রাত্রি […]

My world, my secret dreyWhere I enter to dream,Every time but I check inI step on a watery stream,I take care not to stepYet, it draws me in,My soar feet all wetHealed by circling depthsOh! so keen, My cardboard lifeDamp and dimPeeling plasters quick,Burnt in blue, often un-cluedThe fragrant breeze wafts in,Pops open the can, […]

Let your coffee brew a little more,When the moon shines on sky’s corridor,The earth below blinks in LED galore,Saying goodbye to day’s mundane chores,Washing away exhaustion standingby that window,Twinkling night bows to life’s circling echo, Fumes from cup wriggle like dancing ghostsA busy puff brush past your spooky nose…. Did you try ’n fist it?! once told […]

Let the Writer’s Cafe be open,Let the coffee be written,The ting-tang of the stirring spoon be the music we listenat this quiet hours,‘Till the first ray of the sun touches the pile of creased napkins soiled by laughter and unspokenwords…..

The tongue carries the taste of rain,You, the scent of death,Dousing the fire, your sweetfragrance conspire,Cloud-kitchen churns in-uteroFrost-o-bed, Slippers lose memory by the doorway,Bare foot a prick of dew,Living in the pages of a favouritebook,Sleeves soaked in pining anew, The slow turn of the aging firma,Snatched of its verdant crown,Who knows they are stories ofdeath […]

I choose Cafe Dreamonic When the poets will walk the wailing leaves When the poets willWalk the wailing leavesBrown and crisp,Fill their blank pages with black,I will choose Cafe Dreamonic,Snug-fitted at some remote corner of the city,Order our favourites, just to get it cold,A ruse to sit and talk…… I will not mind the surround cacophony,Shallow […]

Words like mediocrity wriggle through Misty mind flushed in mediocrity needlessly inks Mediocrity of winter hangs like switched-off fairy lights,Words like mediocrity wriggle throughswallowed thoughts —Life runs on the highway,Walks by quaint roads,Loiters around bushy by-lanes,Bylines of fate are the diminishedStatutory Warnings on end-pageSurrogate Adverts…. It takes a sudden turn when — They, in their Dior Tuxedos andPuma runners, sprint toChoose Gucci over […]

In the Bubble of Proliferating Dream I walk smothered by star dust I walk in and out of my dreamProliferating like reality,Smothered by star dustFeet smudged in mushy mudby the corner where lilies bloom…. The shrub-shroud no hindranceFor light to penetrate the locus,A little place so pristine,Where dreams emanate fragranceOf the real, honeyed whiff sweepspast […]

If you ask me, ‘where were you’? I will answer, ‘why? here’ — If you ask me, ‘where were you’?You will mean, where my mind was,I will answer, ‘why? here’ — But will have travelled to the stars,Hovered around meteors and clung to the milky ways, when they showered on the globe,Slipping down on hue-abstracted drenched earth,When you will […]
