Adieu...

Poetry Of Fond Remembrance!

Beneath the rubbles of fragmented thoughts

A faint trace of you, shall forever remain

And I shall recycle my memories each day

To find you, within me, over and over again !

Words that remain untold, moments unshared

I shall at times paint them in thousand hue

And sometimes compose a solitary poem

And keep them all preserved, only for you !

If solitude leaves a waning smile 

On your lips, on some fading evening 

Just know, far somewhere, beyond the stars

It's you, only of you, that I have been thinking !

~Manjuri~

My Moon My Sky

My heart is the sky

You a distant moon

Sometimes waxing towards fullness

Sometimes waning towards darkness

Yes.. a moon you are

Floating in my unlimited space

Growning to fade

Fading to grow

An enigma.. a deep mystery

A secret my soul has sealed

Never to be revealed

To be graved in my tomb

Along with me

Only my epitaph shall read

A few rhyming words

An unfinished poetry

Where my moon shall seek

Cover of dark clouds

And get dissolved in me..

~Manjuri~

A Fiction

Beneath the layers of 

Untold words..

Under the debris of

Crumbled memories..

Somewhere within

You live..

You live, for the entire night..

In the absence of outer light..

Illuminated by your own glow

From you to me.. passion flow

Living together, with hues many

Transience if at all pain any..

Dreams lived in a pair of eyes..

Then, slowly night flies..

Day come in bosomed in tarnished ribs..

Gone is the night.. so leaves the dreams..

Light, light and light spread..

Leaving me and you dead..

Again a night shall choose to remain..

Into our goblets of sparkling wine..

Again we shall take our sips..

Locking our trembling lips..

Each night we live beyond..

Until day chooses to bring the end..

To us both, and our wonderful delight

And again, we wait, to live at night !

শেষ আলিঙ্গন

সেদিন আকাশ মেঘাছন্ন...

গুড়িগুড়ি বৃষ্টি

জালনার কাঁচে 

আঁকলো ভালোবাসার 

পদচিহ্ন ...

আমি তখনো 

এক দৃষ্টে 

বাইরে তাঁকিয়ে 

তুমি গাড়ি হাঁকিয়ে 

এসে দাঁড়ালে 

আমার হাজার স্বপ্নের 

গা বেয়ে ...

দরজায় কড়া পড়লো 

ছুটে গিয়ে খুললুম 

ঝাঁপিয়ে পড়লুম 

তোমার বক্ষে 

তোমার বাহুর বাঁধনে 

ধরা দিলেম ....

চোখের জল 

মিশে গেলো 

আকাশের জলের মাঝে 

দিন এর মাঝে হারালো 

না যানি কত রাত 

রাতে হারালো 

হাজার দিন

অন্তহীন ....

কেটে গেলো 

না জানি কত বছর 

সেই বৃষ্টির গন্ধ 

মুছে যায়নি ...

থেমে যায়নি 

আমার হৃদপিন্ডে 

আটকে থাকা 

তোমার স্পন্ধন ...

জানি না কি ভাবে 

বেঁচে আছে আজো 

আমার মাঝে 

তোমার আলিঙ্গন 

তোমার শেষ আলিঙ্গন ....

Celebrate Again

Come let us celebrate again

The essence of our own being

The glare of our hearts

Come, for a while, let us be

Together again..

Somewhere far off, beyond the hills

Or across the deep blue ocean

Or maybe, where woods are thickest

We sit together, hidden

Let us be, together again..

Let time stop breathing

And wind freezes like us

Let there be complete stillness

Movement, whatever, let it be

Only, of our beating hearts..

Let the wine be poured again

And the stars raise a toast

Let us both be each other's guest

Let us be each other's host..

Let us rewrite our tales

On the sand of the coast

Let us carve our desires

That the mountains can boast

Of our writing on its snowy terrains..

And let us whisper our wishes

On the ears of the windy plains..

Come, let us fall in love again..

So deep that love should be..

That in it we both get lost..

Never to be found again..

~Manjuri~

Uncelebrated Love

You and I,

In constant conflict

Yet in perfect harmony..

Not sure of that

Soul burning love, anymore

Nor is it completely uncared for..

Still locked in heart's dark chamber

Somethings that we forget to remember

Feelings that are now out of range

We, in a process of everyday change..

Gently when the wind lay its kiss

And ask us, 'Do you not remember this'?

Answers we, have none to spare

Blankly as we sit and stare 

Wondering, what has to us, fate served

More or less than we really deserved..

Traces remain of what is gone

Neither are we together, nor alone

Flee, flee, flee.. let us flee

I from you, you from me

What a worthless ego mind holds

Heart's eyes it blindfolds

Uncherished, uncelebrated love within

Neither alive, nor dead, and still breathing..

~Manjuri~

A Night For You
