Only if life was as easy..

I wish I were that message in the bottle.

Floating in the ocean

Or lying at the bottom perhaps.

And when, on some fateful day

A wave stole me from my ocean's womb

I would come gliding onto the shore

To be the reason of some child's smile,

To be stored in his magic-box forever.

Or better still..

Be able to die an almost easy death,

Crashing against a rock

And returning to the womb again..

Yes,You pen the rains

Tomar kobita baaje aakashye,
Brishti podle shunte pari..
Megher proteeksha korthe hoe,
Taki shobdo dhorte pari..

Your poems haunt the inky sky,

Hear it when the rains soak the birches.

Waiting for the clouds to pour down,

So as to catch your verses.

Oh how you sew the words together,

Effortless magician fingers.

And the way you hold that pen of yours,

The great monsoon's harbinger.

How they fall upon the papyrus,

The words like dewdrops on the leaves.

The sheer innocence of your thoughts,

As the rising sun bereaves.

Cause' the mighty sun can't face them,

Like the night, the verses hit him.

They intermingle with the rains

And fill the monsoons to the brim.

So when you die,O mighty one,

Inside your pages,you shall lie.

Your obituary shall be penned thus,

In deep red ink, onto the sky.

I miss you

And there goes my mind again,

Fighting with me

On things as stupid

As stupidity can be.

On why the smell of your skin

fills me with pain

As I lift ur shirt off the hammock

& let it touch me again..

Why my heart aches like hell,

Remembering that last caucus..

The last kiss still fresh on my lips

As you got into the bus..

When you'v left

the day rewinds in my mind

A movie blurred-smiles & tears

your face your smile outlined

How you laugh'd through tears

On the dumbest of my jokes.

How you grimaced & moan'd

when I spoke of my folks.

And so I stop fighting

With my mind

And give in to my heart

where you are confined

And fight with it

As Well
