Little Toes (For Nusrat Jahan Rafi)

I saw her soft little toes after white bandages
Miles of bandages
Miles of burnt skin flash bones veins organs
Miles of souls abuses tears screams
I saw
So I decided to stay awake
So I should stay awake
I don't sleep
I can't sleep
I should keep my eyes stretched
I don't sleep
I shouldn't sleep
My eyes are getting flashed
My eyes are getting stabbed
My eyes will be bleeding
But I shouldn't close them
No I shouldn't shut them down
I watch their souls
I hear them screaming
In the air
All in the air
They are running down from sky high
Oh my poor soul
My soul comes down from sky high too
We drag the sky down to the little grass tips
We should drag the sky down to her little toes

Oh little toes
Soft like my little sister's demanding words
They were to walk around
They were to move round the world
They were to dance like happy birds
They were to touch the morning dews on grasses first

Nusrat Jahan Rafi on the bed of Burn Unit
of Dhaka Medical College
But they ran for justice
They ran for dignity
they ran to the rooftop to save some loved one
They stood for her respect
Oh little toes
Calls the sky to fall tonight
You can't stop it
No one can stop it.

Blue is the color of my soul dragging into

When you made me blue so blue
I hide my glances from you for instance
I felt an ocean of pain deep inside
My love turned blue like an endless time
I will not regret
I will carry my love till the end of the endless time
Blue is always my favorite color
I believed that blue is the color of love
When u said "Goodbye"
I took my fingers away from your forehead
I was about to touch
I departed so far with your well wishes
I will not regret
I will stay far away till the end of this tiny life
What's the difference
I always believed that distance doesn't matter
You never understood what I said
What I whispered
What I was about to verse
When you were seemed to be so close to my soul
When you were in black from top to toe
When you were struggling
When you were hopeful
When you got over and moved on...
My world turned black so black like a moonless night
I will not regret
Black is always my color of charm
It's windy outside
Brings dust leaves smells rains through the windshield to my eyes
Someday you were walking in the rain by the street
Alone
You forgot today what was the emptiness you had that day
I wished to be with you
I don't regret
I couldn't bring you some fresh air that day
My words my silence couldn't heal ur wounds
But I truly wished to be with you
I never learnt the words that you could understand
Rather I embraced silence
I never made a song that you could love
I been always drugged into my sad songs
I never knew the tricks so that you could fall into
So I choose the distance of a universe
It's not your wish or it's not your comfort
Even not those of mine
Sometimes distance evidences an immortal love

Bohemian Me

I hv grown up like a bohemian

I never knew da ways or da destinations

I learnt how to walk rather

So I walked

N so I m walking...

N so I m watching around

Meeting right n wrong people

I skim them through n I like them all

Some of them like me some hate some r indifferent

I walked n I m still

I lost them all n I m still

I lost dearest ones I met once n those I never meant to

N places I lost dat I worth n dat I don't

I lost money resources energy patience

I never counted n I dont

Most I lost is time

I never counted n I don't

Days n nights

Heavy n light

For me or not for me

Today now while I m feeling so scattered

Whispering insanely to stretch each fine lines of time in between

Thriving around

I want to stop me cowardly

Coz I don't wanna write another SadSong.

Lost in dreams

And then I was lost in my dreams and there was too much darkness
Some voice told me that "You are blind.
You are a Blind poet who is falling down from the mountain top"
I felt that I was bleeding inside and out
Oh my skin
My soft skin oh
My deep wide eyes...
My delicate heart and
My purest soul...
Why?
Why I was left here?
I heard some flute too
Sombody was playing some obvious melody lines
Is it all for me?
I thought
But I was falling
I was bleeding
And I was blind
I felt my friends around
They were close to my conciousness
They were helpless to help me out
They all were virtual
And I was falling
I was bleeding
And I was blind
I recalled all dearest faces
Some I trusted and some I didn't
What's the difference anyway
I was lost in my dreams
I recalled all dearest dreams
Some I trusted and some I didn't
What's the difference anyway
The voice told me
"Its all just a dream
Wake up and come back to life."
I was lost in my dreams
I melted my life with them long time ago
And I believed its true
I was lost long time ago
I have been falling for long
And I have been bleeding inside and out for long
And I am blind for long
Oh my skin
My soft skin oh
My deep wide eyes...
My delicate heart and
My purest soul...

Vogue Tapestry

When life was glowing with the dearest purple shades
Green n red n sky blue glaze
I did color my grey wound heart too
In one n two n three n pace
I did grown n set u free
Walked my path the way it were be
One n two n three n thee
Prisoner prisoner prisoner's counts
Just on n off from prisoner's house
Thy was here n thy shall be
Thy shall roam in vogue tapestry
Prisoner prisoner prisoner be
Count one n two n three n thee





English Translation of Bangla Folk Song: Fakir Lalon Shah; চিরদিন পুষলাম এক অচিন পাখি; Forever I Nurtured a Mysterious Bird

 Forever I Nurtured a Mysterious Bird Forever I nurtured a mysterious bird, which never discloses its identity. For this grief, my eyes ...
