There is a corner in my terrace,
The Northwest side of the house,
A spot that has been my companion in my numerous musings.
I remember the day, the day you came,
And everything suddenly changed,
We, the spot and the drowning sun in the West.
I knew that my life had reached a new turn,
The sky which was then coloured in auburn,
Had stood witness to the start of a new love story.
There has been hurt in our lives and there may be plenty to come still,
But we had made a promise that we shall overcome those with our combined will.
May our love cast every doubt aside,
May God protect us and be our guide.
That day, that evening and many more days till we die,
Let us be together and let love and destiny be our tie.

The invisible hand pushes the Pawn,
But the King is the master of the board,
"Defend your king, your pride, your soil!"
Heated words, the King thus roared!
The valiant Pawn marches on,
His death will not go in vain.
Knight assures from the backline,
"Brave vanguard! Feel no pain!"
The white army and the black,
Arrayed formations break their ranks!
The Pawn is lost and so are his comrades,
The Rooks and Bishops enter the fray,
Massive battle breaks out in the middle,
Who will win? No inkling to say!
Two Knights from both the camps,
Keep on rampaging on every turn,
But the best part is that of the Queens
Who keep on killing just for their fun!
Black on white and white on black,
Turn by turn without any slack,
As numbers keep on dwindling,
And the battle comes to an end,
The white King does stumble,
With no pieces left to defend.
As the two invisible hands,
Shake over the chequered board,
The vanquished and the victorious pieces,
Are left to fate, to be forever ignored...

I remember the day and the dark clouds...
The place where I stood with my head bowed...
How far I had come? And for what price?
Was there any acknowledgement for silent cries?
Left without a choice infront of me...
I closed my eyes and refused to see...
Deciding on a course of action,
My mind filled with premonition,
I hesitantly chose a way...
Of one year and months three,
Putting labour of varying degree,
I have come a long way...
Achieved a lot and still more to go,
But curtain calls for This Show!
What did I say that day to the sea?
This will not be the end of me...

Do you know how it feels like?
When you're right there in my sight?
I feel like a man reaching out to the moon...
Do you know how it feels like?
When I am walking in the twilight?
I want you to be there with me soon...

"Learn to walk away" they said...
"Never quit" they further added...
In a wounded world with losing souls...
Where minds of mortals addled...
Whom do you listen to?
To what do you relate?
Where sarcasm binds compassion...
What can you contemplate?
Hate mongering, mistrust on rise...
Civility on its near demise...
Love, kindness rendered extinct traits...
Hate mongering on every pretext..
So when do you walk away?
Or when do you keep on struggling?
Maybe there are people worth saving?
If not then what about your soul?
Least you can do is keep it whole.
A little smile goes a long way...
To ignite the kindling of hope, I pray
Don't get me wrong when I say,
Don't pull your punches on a match day.
Do fight for what you think is right...
Do struggle for a place for your pride...
But do turn away where there's no hope,
Don't go searching for a ghost with telescope...
On a lighter note I'll say,
There isn't any shame in walking away!

There are times when you feel helpless...
Alone in a dark place...
Undecided, radar less...
And restlessness engulfs you.
In want of a flicker of light,
You hold the lighter in your right...
Then the smell of propane hits you.
A beating heart but senses numb...
One flick of your right thumb...
And everything will go up in flames.
The dice keeps on rolling...
Amidst desolation you keep stalling...
Trying to make up your mind.

Do prayers reach their destinations?
Does every traveller find a home?
Do restless souls find their answers?
Will every outcast venture alone?

তোমার প্রশ্ন আমার চোখে
আজও আছি সন্ধানে।
উত্তরহীন দিগন্তে আজ
মিলবে হদিস কোন খানে?

Most precious person in my life,
Amongst all, you shine bright,
In your happiness lies mine as well,
The smile that works like a mage's spell,
Right were the stars when we met,
Endless be our journey Oh fate!
You be successful in every way,
Every pinnacle you reach I pray
Enjoy a very happy birthday!!

Down the rabbit hole I went,
Tossed up fate, emotions spent,
The monkey climbing on my back,
Who let him out of his sack?
Wanted to get a bird's eye view,
Don't know where that went askew,
The snake who poisoned Eve's mind,
Seems pretty honest and kind,
Legit be the crocodile that cries,
Do you know where truth lies?
Roped a fish that was flying high,
Final return for a last goodbye?
Things that seem are not to be,
Kansas is calling back Dorothy.

It seems as the nature is in love,
The trees are dancing in the rain,
The thunderous sky with lightning flashes,
As I open the window pane.

The raindrops caress my face,
The smell of mangoes fresh,
The tree that we planted so long ago,
A jar of entangled memory mesh.

Remember the day we were walking together?
The day we danced in the rain?
The feeling of love was in the air,
Which now hides in longing and pain.

I know we will meet again,
Some place in some distant future,
Will our story be remembered,
As the raindrops by the nature?

I hope it's raining where you are,
The thunder and lightning be the same,
May you be feeling what I am now,
A story of love without a name.
