Still...

Some fragments of myself,
Scattered within you,
Some pieces of broken you,
Still lies within me..
Do come and see..
I have not gathered them,
Nor did I try and mend..
Beautifully we do exist,
In each other's fragment !
You had your share of pain,
I had mine too..
But in my each thought..
I got diffused in you !
Our paths have never crossed,
Nor it awaits an affair..
Yet in its relentless wait,
Days became months, and,
Months long became years..
That road we once took,
To reach each other..
Lies broken, almost like us..
And the eden
In which we once sat,
Holding hands..
Both in love and in regret..
Now sleeps in weeds..
Yet sometimes: when..
Flowers do bloom, and wither..
None thinks of us, none remember...
We are erased from there, forever..
I have noticed, as I pass,  
Crack appeared on the  bench..
Yet the air there is still loaded..
And also are memoirs, trapped in trench !

Its Paining Somewhere !

I thought I had lost myself,
In you..
I am nothing... but you..
I thought I was you ..
You was I..
No... no... no..
I was wrong..
Did not realize..
In you.. I never merged..
You called me selfish..
I smiled..
Yes..
True..
In you .. you remain..
In I ... remain I..
Some realizations come late,
Brings pain along ...
Today in tears I wash my soul..
Today in silence I play my song..
If ever I can leave 'myself' behind..
And can exist only for you..
I shall return to you, my love..
Till then.. Its a adieu !

Amidst Nothing !

Beyond myself, a piece of me,

Why still it longs for thee ?

Amidst something, nothing remained,
You and I in bond unnamed !

Deep within, somewhere unknown,
A little want, small passion,
Surfaces at the dead of night,
Thoughts ignite !

A touch, a single one, long ago,
I carry as your logo,
Your warmth transferred, in hands of mine,
Still beautiful, still divine !

You gave me nothing, nothing to love,
Still I treasured, nothing that I have,
No renewal was ever done,
Yet this love, remains, never is gone !

Today I wish, with almost my all,
Somber me sans enthrall,
If ever storm seeks refuge in your heart too,
Come over, for Am still waiting for you !

চোখের মেঘ

আমি সেদিন দুচোখ মেলে মেঘ দেখছিলাম ,

আমার বাড়ির আকাশে জমে থাকা ,

খন্ড খন্ড .. নানা রঙের মেঘ ...

তুমি ভাবছো ... মেঘের আবার কত রং ?

মেঘ তো সাদাই ছিল ...

আমার কল্পনার তুলি দিয়ে ..

মেঘে আমি রং ভরেছিলাম ..

লাল নীল্ সবুজ হলুদ ..

যত মেঘ তত রং ..

আমি অবাক হয়ে তখন ...

দিগন্তে দৃষ্টি হারিয়েছিলাম ...

বেশ লাগছিল ...

আমার রঙ্গীন স্বপ্ন ...

মেঘের গায়ে এঁকে দিতে ..

নীল্ আকাশে কখনো রঙ্গীন মেঘ দেখেছো তুমি ?

এসো , তোমার দুটি চোখ .. রাখো আমার চোখে ...

আমি যে অনেক মেঘ আমার দুচোখে ভরে এনেছিলাম ,

তোমায় দেব বলে ...

সেই মেঘ যখন গলবে .. আমার চোখের গভীরে ...

বইবে অশ্রুধারা ... 

তখন সেই বৃষ্টিতে তুমি একবার ভিজবে ?

আমার চোখের মেঘে .. তোমার গ্রীষ্ম স্নান ... ?

অনেক মেঘ এখনো জমে আছে ..

আমার দুচোখে ... !

Beyond Complaints One Day !

Someday you write something for me,
You never spend your words on me,
Yes I complaint !

Someday you sing for me, only me,
You never spare your tunes for my ears,
Yes I complaint !

Someday you too stay awake, for me,
But your nights never included me,
Yes I complaint !

Someday, come and meet me, for once,
But your roads never lead you to me,
Yes I complaint !

Someday, drop a few tears for me too,
But your eyes are never moist for me,
Yes I complaint !



Someday, pick those white blooms,
And place them on my tombed home,
I shall never complaint !

Thus with me, ends my complaints all!
My heart says you live on,
Beyond my complaints and me !

~Manjuri~

Good-Bye World !

One day we shall journey,
To those amazing land afar,
We shall flee to the moon,
We shall reach that one star !

We shall walk hand in hand,
Then pause to rest and breathe,
We shall find the sky above us,
And the beautiful earth beneath !

We shall behold the snow clad peak,
And the riot of blooms on the bower,
We shall sway in the westerly wind,
And get drenched in monsoon shower !

In places alien, we shall venture,
We shall discover as we roam,
None to pull our reigns back,
None to call us back home !

We shall surf the tips of waves,
And shall glide in the chest of sky,
I shall give you my wings that day,
And with your wings, I shall fly !

Do not beckon us, we are gone,
We are no more a part of life,
We are floating in the joys of heaven,
Far away from mundane strife !

Oh how I wish, these were true,
All valid, all real as you and I,
If only I could date you forever,
Bidding this world a good-bye !

Within Myself !

When I wait alone,

Within myself,

Not for you,

None at all,

My thoughts,

My logic,

Grips me...

Story of your,

Infidelity,

I want to trust...

Reason opens gate,

Mind gets its bait,

And its you,

I then hate...
I hate..

Day leaves,

Night darkens,

Heart begins to play..

Hundred tunes of love,

I smile, all alone,

Clouds pass..

My sky gets clearer,

Of me.. it shines..

Memories peep,

Eyes gets moist,

Then someone,

From above..

Echoes.. sings.. tells,

Hey, You love !
I love..
