If tomorrow never comes
may love at least confess its deeds
beneath a glittering star welcomed by night's deep exaltations
which offers a bond under Heaven's eternal sky
pledged and pressed into pulsating heartbeats from each kiss
Enslaved and tethered to this star of lovers
so we may fill our soul with soft throbbing tremors
of timeless tenderness, causing eyelids to close
in search of love's infinite realm of misty lush language
which stirs vibrant tongues into fervent flames
of fantasy fulfilled by glorious desires of beautiful boundaries
we crossed beneath this star's moment of breathlessness
when its bright flames crossed the dark sky
like a burning match, until it was gone
leaving our names etched on its fading tail
as a silent presence of perpetual purity
of our love confessed
11/10/20 contest There's a star with my name on it
Hold still my little blue, for I know you are ready to explode
I shall extract your exuberant energy with vibrancy and vigor
For my palettes drip with desire of your aura feeding the white
As the emptiness is slowly fed the eternal sky magically manifests
Such joy and exaltations, we can now see forever thru dimensions
The oceans divinely dance with your prismatic overtones shimmering
Without warning the calamitous clouds creep in, we feel your wrath
With treachery and collusion, we are thrown into the vastness voids
No escape from the nefarious never as the barren bitter cold stings
A bubonic blue surrounds the lachrymal landscapes of frozen tears
Thru minds of men your rage runs rampant destroying hemispheres
For me you are the light of day and the shade of sorrow, you are Blue.

Placed 8'th...Thank You
I am a Krisnochura tree at the Dhaka University,
I love to stand still with my curiosity.
The white clouds are used to touch my head,
Sometimes the rains wash my forehead.
Neither you are aware of this, nor the students,
I love their wonderful shouts.
My leaves are nimble, nimble like fish in the water,
My flowers are lovely in red colour.
My leaves are my hands, I have millions,
I touch you with my millions hands with exaltations.
I touch Dhaka city sometimes,
I love this DU campus and want to stay lifetimes.
My leaves are my eyes, I look in amazement,
I watch you with my millions eyes with amusement.
What right have I to write?
What sanctuary allows me entrance
into its sacred domicile?
Who really scribes for me?
Is it the stars or the trees?
The streams or the seas?
I bow in humble servitude
to my muse as she shares her
adoration of nature
and expedient expression
of all things exquisite
Tears, joy, revelations
and exaltations she sends
to touch, rock and bewilder
readers
My gift; my muse
I introduce to you
I see the expanse now,
I see the expense now,
How we expand now,
The sun never sets on Empire,
Pitted, packed dry-cake gully
Sere, stolid waiting the return
Of precipitation
The dearth of rain
Brings Earth her pain
until
The dead creeks rejuvenation,
There’s anticipation of CROAKS, HUMS,
TWEETS, CHIRPS,
That never come,
Reign in your expectations
of
Rain, a bringer of Nature’s exaltations,
But all I see is dry death,
little animals hunt for oil,
there’s parched soil,
that cracks and crunches,
from rock to metal back to rust,
silt motes form massive walls of dust,
As brawling winds blow squalls,
I see the future,
My eyes set fire to it all

earth changes seasons…
life timed for exaltations
buds profusely bloom
tides of fragrance spill
invigorating senses…
beauty flourishes
hopes rise from seedpods
roots in rich soil awaken…
spring’s alleluia
As I walked through the ‘PEARLY GATES” and saw :LENORE on the far shore
Waving exuberantly, running atop the Aqua Blue, tranquil “ Ocean of Heaven “
Running toward me: long Auburn hair flowing : Jade green eyes, Sparkling
My HEART leaps as I too run atop the Aqua Blue, tranquil “ Ocean of Heaven “
Our arms wide open, gliding towards Togetherness, a Oneness with G O D
We Embrace, a Brilliant Heavenly LIGHT explodes: Cascading o’er the Universe
The Saints, Angels and Arch-Angels singing Exaltations to the Almighty G O D
Hymns becomes whispers LENORE and I ENTWINE, Her warmth Radiates
Our Kiss erases a Lifetime of Sorrow pain agony LONELINESS for all ETERNITY
WE become one entity with the FATHER, SON, HOLY SPIRIT
THANK-YOU G O D for YOUR Agape Love for L E N O R E and I
Blessings to all living in an Earthly REALM
Hushed be the whispers of angels, their gentle and lilting croon,
Amidst the showering of star lights, halos encircle the moon;
Voices that penetrate lightly, sweet elevation to lift
The sphere of the voyager soul, cut loose and set adrift.
Surrendered the mooring of mortals, in warm resurrection met
Peace and life eternal, renewed and devoid of regret;
Floating in sacrosanct ether, drawn to the jubilant place
Where dwells perpetual sanctuary, the blessed state of grace.
Succumbed to the comfort of Heaven, love everlasting is felt
In the joyous exaltations, where all pain is decreed to melt;
Laid rest in ethereal harbours, in echoes of curtain calls,
All heartache put to sleep, laid rest when serenity falls.
