Conspiracy of Silence

What started with talks of genocide
And Rizpah's lost child
Went on to contouring the outside lines of you
And conversations with you in her mind.

Missing you is the easy part.
Thinking you up all day is restlessness personified.
Because she is strong, not invincible.
She wants her errs to be rectified.

Talk to her & tell her what's shifted
What's with all this silence?
As if being pulled in by a river current
Sucked into a seedy turbulence

You're a sunset of the deepest reds, vibrant yellows
And the most comforting blues
You've touched her with ur blackest eyes and murky pastel hues.
 ‎

So now...
She's written your name so deep in her book of sands,
When waters flow through the pages, dark seas are born!!
Curb the storm that you've stirred in the waves and tell her once more..
'Wake up, sunshine... I'm here..and it's a new morn!'

অভিষিক্ত

মাইল মাইল অভিমান
জমছে মনের ভাড়ার ঘরে,
কাহন কাহন মনকেমনের
দূর দীঘির দোরগোড়াতে।

যখন তোমার চোখের বাক্সে
খিল লেগেছে ঘুমে,
তখন পিসছে পাঁজর আমার
অপেক্ষার শীলে।

"Hey you, love?"
কখন বলে উঠবে গলার স্বর?
হবে সকাল, ভর সন্ধায়,
শান্ত হবে ঝড়।

Escapades

No, you can't delete me!
You can try, but you can't.
It'll only leave you into someone
Who you, kind of aren't.

You can erase me with all your might
But there is the risk of the 'tear'
You can try cutting me out
You may prick yourself, that is the fear.

Or you could try drowning me in alcohol
Yeah...that could do the trick!
Or you could light up a tiny flame
And burn the edges with a stick.

Even if it fades,
I'm sure to leave a mark
Even if not a scar,
It'll show up somewhat stark.

You couldn't delete me, could you?
Keep trying, as the nursery rhyme goes.
Then when you finally get it, wear it with pride
What you yourself chose to expose!!
