Foolscapped King merrily sat...
With Pocketful of Fried Peanuts...
Eating..spitting... eating spitting...
(Thus...) Slim King not becoming Fat..."

Protests

We talk...
We speak out, and we protest...
We protest and make our point...
And things happen anyway...
Our protests play all around it,
Protests paint and protests dance...
And things happen anyway...
And our protests play all around it...
We grudge... and we sing...
We speak, we advance like ants...
And things happen anyway...
And we protest...
We protest even in sleep...
We sleep...
And we talk...
And things happen anyway...
Things will happen anyway...

Lies...

My face is not all the face that you see...
Lies make up the rest of it...

I no more want you to see me like this...


Yes, you are generous in giving,
Your lips droop down to give shelter,
The tears still makes this barren land so fertile...

But I want to break loose...
The person you know is not all of me...
This jaundiced soul no joy does bring...
You nearly have filled me up...
I am yet to give you anything...

Turning back may not be a bad idea after all...

I have gathered so much dirt all these years..
Ignored the love that you have for me...

Now the moon wants me by it's side...
The night invites me to unknown...
Depths of ocean pulls me away from you...
The burning pyre warms me up for more...

I can leave...
I can go in any direction I want...
But why should I?

A loving kiss on the face of my child...

I will leave...
but, not right now...
I will take you all with me...
I will not leave you... in this dark hour...

kotobaro bhebechhinu...

A million times have I thought... without thinking... I'll let my heart flow... without her feet sinking...
The goddess that she is though a human being... how can I talk to her of love... the silly thing...


with her thoughts in mind, trying to stay far,
rest of my life in undisclosed pain, worshiping her...
letting no one know...
my moist eyes... not letting that show...
and if she comes and asks me why... oh of my love, how can I deny...

I will keep thinking... may be another million time...

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

-- William Butler Yeats
