He says he loves me then he says he loves me not
He loves me today but by tomorrow I'm forgot 
He runs from my love but returns wanting more
I guess I'm to blame for letting the traveler explore, 
See travellers just wander and are never...

My mind reminds me of you, 
you're stuck in my life and there's nothing I can do... 
Three little words have haunt me and it's my 
own being thats taunts me...
I've gone this far and made a life without you 
but why do I continue...

Could you imagine,
A face like that?
Created by the face of an angel
And modeled like fashion
For the damned and deceased.
A respected locksmith,
Drunk on insomnia and aging,
Kissing the pavement
With bare and busied feet.
The Brazilian beauty
Who prides herself as
The representative of blushing.
The one who catches the bouquet
By chance...

Life’s equation works in a different way,
each moment is accounted for as is each day,
one be one, as we pass through time’s sieve,
what remains in the end is charity we give.

balance in the bank does not follow you,
friends and relatives will soon bid adieu,
all that...

Nomad in strange lands, 
Doing it with your hands, 
Not reprimanded dead, 
But given an actor’s head. 

Time to do, breadth and space, 
So you don’t leave your trace, 
Because your actions are private, 
Since you are not an ape primate.

Caged within freedom and jail,...

“Teenager, 
The growing youth, 
The future leader, 
The light of the nation, 

Listen to the words, 
All mathematically, 	
Like the equation y = mx + c, 
The y-intersect you can meet at
As a young girl or boy, which might
Make a proper fraction, or an old...

Science may have created your physical being 
though through Spirit science surely did not 
Create your image or the talents that you have 
 would be more than what you had thought

Of any loving person who can give you or share
with you and then turn...

Lovingly, Apu

Prithwiraj Chowdhury

Pulu, how are you? Are you all well, these days?
This pen is down on spark, too soon, quite a dismay!
These letters are tracing more and more blurry , even more than a foggy winter morn, 
Where all these years got eloped, along the...

“How to Become 1”

the great resignation
calls dreams forth
when God knows
who we truly are

what we are

all worth 
out in the open 
without our lies 
and finery 

when titles 
no longer
justify existence
no longer matter 

the purpose of Life
undressed for all 
to see, we are 
virgin bride laid...

Advance and dance towards destiny
Galumph
Defy the lie and cry of scrutiny
Triumph 

Over hurdles seen and unseen
Drive and dive to arrive
At the intersection where a queen
Awaits your appearance as you strive

To breach odds stacked against success
Meant to land in caloused hands
That have toiled and moiled to...

A world that wouldn’t understand
Perhaps wouldn’t care
Line by Line
More than just words
Memories from yester far
Journeys and Struggles
Storms of Damnation
Hour glass of time
Personal Memoir
Not in a book, but one’s inner spirit
Beginning to extension
Closed Doors that opened
Death wanted to snitch
Life came through with a catch
A Higher Calling...

No one’s perfect
No one’s is angelic
Beautiful in body
but filthy in heart

Fluent in speech yet,
stammerer in action
Metallic in body but
a desert in morals

Shining star in sport
yet a tail in reason
Close to Almighty
but afar from man

Life’s like a computer game
Full of additions and subtractions...

What if I said you're too strong of a woman to worry about a loss?
What if I said you could have any type of man you'd possibly want?
No matter what your Knight will always be by your side,
And as my Angel I know you'll always...

“Another game?”
“Yes, I think so but let’s change
the rules. What if we create some
holes in the game, three or four
perhaps with parallel endings?”
“Yes, I think that would be fun.”

Who predetermines the rules? 
What if you step over a crack in the sidewalk, 
And the rules...
