The scars adorned his might, his weary armor engrossed in blood was gleaming bright ;
He yearned in pain , only to realise he was alone in this plight;
Subdued and tired the prince dwelled towards the mystic light.

Drenched and cold she strode up the strait,
Entrancing beauty; everlasting youth and divine ambrosial complemented her gait,
"She wasn't a mere-man, perhaps a renounced angel, waiting to find a worthy mate.. "

The frail prince peered into the distant light;
Only to be astounded at his sight ;
The beautiful maiden caressed and embraced him tight,
she ensconced him in a cave and appeased him through the night.

-

He relentlessly wished to cease the beauty and dwell in this moment till the end of eternity,

As reality is treacherous!!

Unfathomable pain accompanies it, insinuating the yearns of many..

-

I embraced you as a subtle breeze, you devoured me as a storm...

-

Reprimanding and resenting conventional values, beliefs, establishing dominance and inculcating contentment amidst the like minded fools.
Alas!! a debilitated bid, to conceal hypocrisy...

-

Her beauty was commemorated,
Her zeal was cherished,
Her presence embarked contentment...
Yet I agonized him,
I reprimanded him,
And my thoughts were full of resentment...

Enticed by her whimsical nature,
He adorned her as an exorbitant possession...
Alas!! Veraciously I lamented,
'Life' was a mistress who was just an ephemeral obsession...

His youth had faded,
His charm devoured,
He pleaded her to stay..
But Mistress "Life" had now renounced and abandoned him that very day...

Exasperated and agitated I witnessed him in solitude...
"Death" is what he discarded,
Yet forever he would be in debt of my gratitude...

-

Inquisitive and relentless, I want to abstain my innocence, from getting allured and entranced into the labyrinth of this malicious world....

হারানো দিন

হে করোনা একি ঘটালে ?
সমস্ত মানব জাতি কে ঘরে বন্দী বানালে।

চিনের সঙ্গে হাত মিলিয়ে,পৃথিবী তে আতঙ্কের বীজ দিলে ঢেলে।
মুখের মিষ্টি হাসি কেড়ে, চোখের জলে বুক ভাসিয়ে দিলে।

মনে পড়ে আমাদের সেই দিনের হাসি-ঠাট্টা,সবার ঘরে জমতো " চায়ের আড্ডা "।

সোনালী রোদের দুপুরে, থাকতো নানা রকম মুখরোচক খাবারের-
হাসির তরঙ্গে জানালা দিয়ে - বাতাস বয়ে যেত রঙে রঙে।

নেই আর সেই মেলামেশা, ঘুরিয়ে দিলে জীবনের পাশা,
"লকডাউন" কে মেনে নিলাম "কোয়ারেন্টাইন" কে স্বাগত জানালাম।

এই হলো আমাদের বর্তমান জীবন।
হে ভগবান ! লইনু স্মরণ, হে ভগবান লইনু স্মরণ।

আধার প্রদীপে জ্বালাও শিখা,
পরাাও পরাাও জ্যোতির টিকা-
করো হে - মানব জাতির জীবন রক্ষা ।

নমস্কার
ধন্যবাদ
গীতশ্রী পাল

A man of words, a friend in need,
First of the lot, that I idolize indeed.

A magnanimous demeanor,a benevolent nature,
An extravagant, yet it perfectly compliments your stature.

You shine brighter than the brightest star,
Hence you attained success and glided so far.

You meticulously judge what is right,
And radiate the darkest of the night.

I fail to comprehend your beautiful soul,
Even when I fail miserably, you push me hard and play the most important role.

A love so pure, a love so naive, even if I strive I will fail to repay,
And all I can say today is "Thank you and Happy Fathers Day".

A soul was destined to witness the first ray of light,
A mother gallantly adorned it, with all her might.

Exhilarated and thrilled, the parade of elephants played in the dirt,
As one of their kind was about join the herd.

Starving and ravenous, she wandered and voraciously dwelled,
Alas!! Completely ignorant of what the future beheld

A distant ally she thought, offered her food,
Delighted and elated, to and fro she chewed.

They chuckled and menacingly laughed, as she groaned in pain,
Their malicious and malignant intentions were alien to the idea of shame.

Evil proved its supremacy and mocked her innocence,
But Justice wont take long and you will be dammed in-front of the omnipotence.

-

Excruciating in pain , he longed to cry,
but he was moulded to believe a preconceived lie.

Men are stronger than women the world had said,
With an aching heart he believed that he was destined to be dread.

He yearned and shouted with all the courage he had,
He was a subject of domestic violence, only to be mocked and be labeled as mad.

The patriarchal goons could not insinuate his pain,
According to them conjugal violence was a discussion for the lame.

Tired and exhausted he gave away his life,
As it seemed easier than being betrayed and butchered by his wife.

Women are tender and to be tamed , men are violent and to be blamed,
A long formed opinion which needs to be changed.
