Before 2022 ends,
would you like to leave
a message for me? 🙂

Dear Baba,
They said I will be fine with time. But I am not fine, at all. How can I be fine when you are just gone? How can I say “I am fine” when I can’t call you in emergencies anymore? How can I be fine when I don’t feel the touch of your hand on my head when I feel helpless? How can I feel fine when I know you aren't there to understand that I need you, without me even looking out for you? How can I be fine when people keep talking about you in the past tense? It shatters me to see your picture decked up in flowers, that I absolutely loved otherwise!! I hate to realize that you can't come back.

I had to loose you to - forever, coz
I wasn't ready to give up on what's real
In return of all that's fake about you.

-

Of all the apologies in this world,
The ones that we owe to ourselves
For being naive, vulnerable, virtuous,
Are most crucial yet, the toughest ones!

-

The pain doesn't go anywhere
We simply learn to overlook it.
The scars don't vanish in thin air
We eventually learn to conceal it.

Love doesn't fade from our hearts
We simply tuck it away in a corner
And then we wait,
We wait till we grow up,
Till we grow beyond,
Till we can live past the pain

With all the love, still safe in our hearts
Hiding away carefully, yet hoping that
Someday, someone, will
Find his way to Narnia and,
The winter will finally be over.

Men: Women are so confusing, even God failed to understand them! 🤦


Also Men: I don't know what I feel!
I know what I feel but not sure if I truly feel!
I am sure but don't know how to say it!
I know how to say it, but why should I??
I will say it, but what if I'm rejected! 🙄

Dear men, sort out your own confusions first!!! We're done with the confused child within you!!

Abhi se kya pareshan ho rahe ho tum
Abhi to bahut ansu bahana baki hai,
Jis rah pe chal pade the  bina soche
Agle mod pe woh rasta badalna baki hai.

Pyaar karna to mushkil nahi thi, Aakhir
Woh tumhari ragon mein jo daurta hai
Par use bhula pana to alag hi musibat hai
Lakeeron mein nahi,woh saanson mein baste hai

Abhi se kya pareshan ho rahe ho tum
Abhi to bahut ansu bahana baki hai,
Ishq mein khudko fanaa karna na sahi
Umeedon ki cheeta par jalna abhi bhi baki hai.

Wish I could put into words
About how I feel right now
Wish these words didn't laugh at me
I'm not a poet, you know.

As the night creeps into darker realms
Flowing through the breathes of poets deep asleep,
Wish I could tame my heart to breathe
Tugging my mind away in a gentle sleep.

Alas! My mind won't listen to me,
Refuse to accept and just let it be,
Oh I so wish to get blown by the breeze!
Or just project myself astrally in my sleep.

I wish I could land up where you breathe,
Hug you tightly while you're peacefully asleep,
And then fill my lungs with your essence,
Holding your hands before I fall asleep.

That I have been doing for so long,
Unaware that you have been seeking
An abode that no longer smells of me,
Crossing your fingers, waiting to be free.

তুই বলেছিলি নদী হবি
আমিই হবো তোর সমুদদূর,
হেঁটে যাবো আয়ূরেখা ধরে
যেইখানে শেষ তেপান্তর।
হাঁটছিলাম তোর পাশেতে
পাতায় আঁকা কবিতা,
মাঝপথেই থেমে গেলো তোর,
আমায় লেখার কলমটা।

হয়তো তুই লিখছিস আজও
কবিতা হয়েছে অন্য কেউ!
মেরুন আঁচল, চোখের কাজল
নদীতে আর তোলেনা ঢেউ!
আবার যদি হারাই আমি
প্রেমিক নামক মরীচিকায়,
খুঁজবো এমন নামের মাঝে
যার খোঁজ মেলে না কবিতায়।

-

At the end, all will be well.
Me and you shall rest in peace.
It's the time in-between that matters,
Whether we'll be a reason for sorrow,
Or walk with honesty and grace.
