Bakrid 2020

This is my third Bakrid with you.
The first Bakrid, I won't forget.
I was extremely happy
to see you before the holiday.
Last year, it was on 12th August
It was lonely...
This year, I received fleeting happiness
and simultaneously pain...
It is still lonely!
Somewhere, someone is saying
This is your "third" Bakrid...
Just note down THIRD.

I feel saturated living here
Same old routine; Same old  faces
Some are so dark human beings
That don't feel to see them
again and again.
There is nothing here
which can keep me on
Even you fade
If I focus on my future 
and my shabby living.

For you, this is heaven!
You didn't live anywhere on Earth
for so long like me;
Sometimes I am jealous of you (am I ?)
By thinking at least you have
something to cling on--home, family, roots
I am rootless like a hanging Money Plant
who changes water time and again.

(Note: Is there truly anything for which I need to feel jealous :) The answer is NO. It is just a phrase I have used how it is used in my "second home" casually to continue a conversation and also to admire someone for something! I thought I would clarify this for my anonymous readers. )

Dark Poems

Have you noticed
my poems are lacking sugar?
They are bitter day by day
As if I am consumed by darkness...
If you remember..
You visited my place
in the morning rain!
Then one evening
we drank tea during twilight
Then once you shared your fragrance...
Those were indeed happy days
(Weren't those?)

Fragile

My trust is so fragile now!
I would even hide my poetry
from her greedy eyes.
If you ask for mercy
(On behalf of her)
I would say
Don't make me embarrassed
By asking what I cannot give.

The blue cloak

Again there is a silence
The moon looks like a flat bread
hanging high in the sky
The full moon is upon us.

Dear, are you so afraid of her?
She asked--
They are walking miles apart
Only their thoughts merge
Thoughts hold hand together and embrace.

Are you so afraid of her (?)
that whenever you came here
in this white palace
You were not able to wear
the blue cloak I gave!

It's been long time that
I suggested you to wear the white
to have peace of mind...
But I am surprised to see
even when there is a little chance
A chance given as a Friday Gift
You hide the blue cloak
Out of fear and anxiety?
I wonder!
I do.

Chosen

Above all everything
I have chosen you!
knowing that all the consequences
are upon me.
