আমরা দুজনে !

চলো বেড়িয়ে পরি.....!
আমরা দুজনে....
সমুদ্র থেকে পাহাড়ে...
আর মরুপ্রান্তরে..
যেখানে আকাশ...
সীমাহীন নীল..
তুমি, আমি , আর..
কিছু গাংচিল..
হাথে হাথ ,
চোখে চোখ, আর,
হারিয়ে যাওয়া
মুখের বাক.. !
সূর্য ওঠা ,
লাল দিগন্তে..
তারই আভাস... !
হৃদয় প্রান্তে
আকুল ডাক 
তুমি আমি হতবাক ..!
না থাকুক ,
কিছু পাবার আশা..
না কিছু হারাবার ভয়..
এমনি করে নিশ্চিন্তে বাঁচা..
তোমায় আমায় দুজনায় !
রঙ্গিন স্বপ্নের,
রংহীন ফাঁকি,
সাদাকালোয়ে,
মোরা আঁকি...
আমি তোমার কাধে 
রেখে তখন মাথা 
মুগ্ধ নয়নে দেখছি

কাঠবেড়ালীর খেলা !

সাগরের ঢেউয়ে 
শুনি জীবনের গান 
অবিরাম !
তুমি আমি দুজনায়ে !
নাইবা কইলে তুমি কথা ..
তোমার এই নীরবতা ..
ভালোবাসে আমায় !
আমি তা জানি  !
তাই আবার বলি ,
নিজেদের দিয়ে ফাঁকি ..
চল আমরা বেড়িয়ে পড়ি ..
তুমি তোমায় খোঁজো ..
আমি আমায় খুঁজি ..
তুমি আমায় পাও ..
আমি তোমায় পাই ..
এসো মরা হারিয়ে যাই ...
চলো যাই , একটু বাঁচতে ,
চলো যাই  !!

I Have Not.. I Shall Not.. !!

 
I have not loved anyone, this very much..
As I loved you..
Nor shall I ever love anyone, so very much..
As I loved you..
I have not longed for anyone, this very much..
As I longed for you..
Nor shall my heart ache, so very much...
As it ached for you..
I have not smiled , this very much..
As I smiled with you..
Nor did I weep for anyone, so very much..
As I have wept for you..
I have not draped my words, this very much..
As I draped them for you..
Nor have I dressed in silence, so very much..
As I have dressed for you..

I have not.. I shall not.. 
I will not breathe for anyone else..
If you stop to be the air around me..
Let life pause on my arrested pulse .. !

Amidst Nothingness !

Its Nothing Everywhere !

Grass And Leaf !

Like the grass that treasures,
The dead leaves..
I keep you in my bosom...
I pray each day..
No strong breeze should...
Sway you away...
Away from me...!
Like the fallen leaves..
Of mid-autumn..
You left home..
But could not leave the heart..
Could not move apart..
From near the tree..
To which you once belonged...!
I am but a stretch of grass...
You a leaf astray...
No wind shall be brave enough..
To take you away...
Away from me !

In Love Again !

Am feeling tender again..

Today am feeling you..

The blowing breeze..

Touched me, making me new...

Like that flower dainty..

Am too fragile in love...

Give me all you can tonight..

Pour on me all that you have...

Fading rays of dwindling sun..

Dupes me each evening fine..

Tell me once tonight..whisper that..

You too have fallen in love again !

~Manjuri~

Discovery !

I have caged myself,
In my own soul..
I have built a prison..
Locked up my emotion..
I have stoned my heart..
Nothing reaches me..
When you are apart..
I have numbed my senses..
And frozen my smile..
Even if I come back..
But for a while..
The call of unknown..
Will take me back..
I have nothing left..
Nothing to give or take..
Am empty as the sky..
As beneath it I lie..
Alone with the stars..
With thought that ,
Begets smile..
But for a while..
I did come..
Only to go..
With no promise ..
To be back..
Only some memories..
Carried on my backpack !
Journey begins..
Endless one..
If I reach, you shall know..
Or else, when remembrance..
Haunts you strong..
Do come along..
To find me you too got to leave..
What I left, in the loop of time..
To find me, get lost for once..
To get lost, do find me once !

~Manjuri~

Your Woman !

Your touch had once,
Made a woman out of me..

I realized, I was beautiful..
By the looks in your eyes...
I realized I was loved..
By the hidden smile..
That your lips flaunted ..

My senses alert..
My heart throbbed in you..
My tears made your eyes..
Appear like a high tide ocean..

Oh ! What a pleasure it had been..
To be your woman !
