Body Smell

Every minutes being far from each other
We used to feel very difficult like a minute
When fish remain out of water
So remember! You and I together promised not to
Separate anymore. Then we became two to one.
Since then days became months, months changed into
Years. Now it has been two decades that you my dear,
My heart! You voluntarily belonged to somebody else.

I tried to meet you many times but you never even
Came to the dream. I still do not know what made you
To be so iron hearted! I do remember you every day.
I can feel you your presence in my heart. Still I am having
Your body smell which is very fresh to my senses.
These smells make me crazier. Even more, this is the smell
Which prevent me to be somebody else like you?
Now again I do promised dear, the same body smell will be remain
Mine till I will have my life.

Hate me not if you can
Feb 16, 2003

She hates me like I hate frog
I just have nastiness in me for her.
Whatever I have done that is a matter of
Hate for her. She does not want to ask me
A slip of drink though I am thirsty like a desert.
Instead, I ask her a cup of thirst quencher.
She gives me such a resentful bullet in my heart.
Moreover, she looks me as I look to frog.
Again, she recharges my conceal bullet wound by
Showing how much she is willing and becomes to
Happy to server beverage who are even ready to
Drink her red-red blood.
I know, my lord, she wants to show me how much
I meant and cost by pouring hot-hot beverage to others.
Finally, I have one more thing to say. But I do not
Know how? Because now I am ghost.
Please somebody tell her not to hate me anymore
I am not around her. I am already dead. She better knows
How she killed me on the same day when I was born.
Now I do not hate frog anymore. That frog had also died.
We have no different appearance! Frog and I are same!

Wound you gave me

Bullet wound can be healed very easily and
pain can be stopped by pain killer and after
a while it heals perfectly as normal.
But my wound is not by bullet. It is from
words and words from my own loved one.
It hurts me very badly, but I do not know
where is hurting. It so deeply and badly
hearts even famous doctor and modern
medicine are worthless. Moreover, unknown
but very deep pain appear in me time to time.
I always used to say mine love is
unconditional love. I promised to be a just
giver but not receiver. But I really do not
know what makes me get unknown incurable
pain in me.

For me

There is just one respectable person in the world
And that person is nobody but just you.
So I want to express all my feelings with you.
I really do not care, whether you care me or not
But I always do care you and express everything to you.
Instead of politeness to towards you, I always want to
Be courteous to you from my bottom of heart.
I don’t care what you were, are, up to, but for me
You are always respectable!
I ever and never expect any material things from you.
Just I want you to listen my feeling carefully
And I want to keep our bridge of relationship more
Strong, and if you want to keep quite, that is fine
But please listen my feeling carefully. That is all
I want from you.

Wonderful

You do not know how much
I missed you, oh! Not you
Don’t get confuse! That I missed you.
But I did miss something in absence of you
Which is million dollars worth for me.
Even I cannot buy in million dollars.
Just I put the worth of million dollars.
What nonsense! I don’t miss you but I missed
So much in your absence. You know that is your smile
Which I am talking about, and that your smile I missed
But don’t get confused I never missed you. I just miss
Your smile. When I see your smile I feel I am in heaven
Listen! Look! Your smile is very wonderful and kept
It always fresh for ever.

The day made different

I was shy to the death to come up to you.
I quietly entered into the room.
Room was new but I was feeling comfortable.
Just you were in the room. I guessed, you were
Already sleep or you were acting as if you were asleep!
I then requested to you to give me place to sleep in your side
I don’t know how I dared to ask so. I know, you were
Opposite sex. But you the own whom I have to speed all my whole
Life with you, so I dare to come up with you.

You slowly catch my hand. Oh! God, your hand had a current
That current passed through the my whole body by making
Every part of my body excited. I never felt that kind of current in my life
God! Current in whole body.
May be you have special power so you have current. Then you slowly start
To speak with me. I was feeling you were speaking in angel voice.
All of sudden you join your lip to my lip. God! Now more current!
Then I forget to myself.
After a while I started to feel some uncomfortable and felt pain in my
Body part which even I never dared to look at.
Oh god! Now more pain. Now then I understand, you were in me.

And I was in you. Then pain! Pleasure! Pain! Pleasure! …..
Then you were hanging on me just like a dead person.
That day is very important for me. And I lost something and you gain
Something . The thing I lost will never get back anymore.
That pain and pleasure still is very fresh to me.

I am very proud of myself even I lost something by you.
You know that thing was kept very carefully for you.
So you take it.

Traveller

I see everybody is busy.
Some are busy to judge other
Some are busy to kill the time
Some are busy to utilize the time
Everybody is busy in one way or
Others according to their levels
In truth, everybody including you
And I am also busy travelling to
The destination. And our destination
Is sure and just one universal truth.
We all have to be in that point.
No matter who we are and how
We are travelling. Finally we will be there.
Since all we have common destination
So why not we travel together by putting
Hand in hand and following in easiest way.
So we can bring our hearts’ smile in our leaves.
Oh God! How world be wonderful we all are
Proceeding to our common destination with
Hand in hand. All we have buds of smile in face
Which is about to change into flowers any time.

My Dream

Yesterday, I feel in sleep and I saw a dream.
In my dream, I was climbing the Mt. Everest.
When I wake up, I was in my bed by covering
My whole body by warm blanket. But even in
That warm temperature, I had a dream of mountain
And just a minute ago how come I was about to die
Because of cold. That was dream come on!
But I felt it. That was real, I was in great trouble
While climbing the mountain.
When I wake up! Every thing was fine whole body
Was warm and I was in my bed very securely.
Some days ago, I had a dream. In that dream, I was falling
From the high cleft. So terrible time. I was half-past death
In the begging. And after a while I was death. Even I was death,
I was continuously falling and I was screaming in fear.
Then all of sudden I wake up. Surprise I was in my car
Parking in the side of way and having rest with my wife.

One week ago, I had a dream, I was a billion or I had problem
How to spend money. Even I did not get any way to sped
My small part of money. And I was unhappy to the life.
But when I wake up, I was having a nap in my office table
In front of list of payment I had to pay before due date.
Just some days ago, I had a dream, in the dream was in
Africa my whole body was skinny and I was crawling
And creeping in around having a dead hope of finding
A food. Empty stomach for several days and many relatives
Continuously dying with bamboo body in the pain of hunger.
I myself also waiting die but still having hope to find
Some food.
But when I wake up, I had half unfinished meal in my
Plate.
Now I am writing about my dream and you are reading
It may be a dream! Who knows!

Reality

Do not believe in your eyes
It is one of the greatest "Maya".
Your eyes put you in unreal world.
Don't you believe it
Look! sunset.
You believe it is the time of sunset.
Bur sun had already set before 8 minutes.
Why do you see sometime same things ugly
and sometime the very thing beautiful?
What kind of "Maya" is that?

Instead, you can see real and truth things
when you closed eyes!

What a wonderful! You see unreal when
eyes are opened, and you see real when
eyes are closed

My worst enemy

Lair!
The biggest lairs in my life are nobody.
But me!
Because I have lied to myself for many times.
Sin!
The biggest sinner in my life is nobody.
But me!
Because I have committed so many crimes, and
I have pretended to be a good person.
Cheat!
The biggest cheater in my life is nobody.
But me!
Because I have cheated to myself many times.
Enemy!
My biggest enemy in my life is nobody.
But me!
Because I myself created all my bad habits
and I am digging my own grave by my mouth.

Direction towards Achievement

For all my past years, I was damp running
Running to get my destiny, which I never
could because I was running towards the wrong
direction
Now, just one second's turning in a right
direction make me to get my destiny.

For all past years, I fought for freedom.
During that period, I gained a lot, and I
lost a lot. But I never got freedom.
Now I get freedom, oh God my freedom in
a minute while I was just watching the blue
sky. I have got my freedom for ever. Which
nobody can take it way from me? This freedom
is just my freedom. Now I have a freedom
even in a highly secure detention center
where air rarely get chance to get escape out
for me, instead, I have freedom there too!

Chameleon

It was not ago, they said
He was a good person.

Just few days ago, people were
Saying, he was not a good person.

Now most of people are saying he is
one of the dangerous persons.

But for me he is always he and
He will be liked him forever.

My Love

I love you.
I care you.
It is does not means
that I like you.

I just love you
Because you are
Not who you are!
I know, you do not care me.

But I love you
Again it does not
Mean that
I am jealous of you.

You think you are a
Free bird, so you
Know how to fly.
Thus want to fly any direction.

That’s fine to me.
Go away, fly anywhere.
But remember
You just know how to flay.

Remember! You still need to learn more
First needs to know how to land
And where to return for living.
That is why, I care you.
