Rise
Release
Our lady
Blooms sweet nightly
Mothers pin wishes
On her petals
Wrought as stars
While babes
Drowse
Swaying fields of buttercup and yarrow
Lavish goldenrod and dandelions
Wild outside my garden walls
Protective of their independence
And carefree wanton ways
Yet bemused by how
Just over yonder
The other half lives
Flirtatious gloriosa daisies
Alluring yellow columbine
Coquettish gerbera daisies
Provocative flutterbye roses
Sultry golden feverfew
Sweet carolina jessamine
Bewitching black eyed susans
Tentalizing gold nuggets
Darling flannelbush
Amazonlike sunflowers
Golden bells daffodils
Spice custard iris and finally...
Irresistible hummingbird sage
All day long just sitting over there
Looking most opulent and radiant
While soaking up the finest rays of sun

o' this spring lives in this lane
and coming with enchanting heart,
here Jessamine flowers is cradling
peaceful conch-shell is calling the god of roses
fragrance of tuberose is chasing after beloved chignon
it’s the path of petals, of fragrances, of colors
both side of this lane the love lives in
the love Is waiting here
for me, for you, for both of us together
as the valentine
thorns!
nothing this is
on our together walking path
although this thorny path is endless
cause our love is
eternal alive being
to the path of resurrection day
under the SHADOW of ARSH-MOALLAH
THE SUPREME THRONE of GOD
no thorn, no sun burn can touch us as our DOOM!
LOVE is our ecstatic DOME
through this lane
without any pain
insane to sane
on the divine crane
we’ll live long as LOVING FAME
-February 12, 2019 Chattogram
A sniper was around.
I did not want to rush
and kiss the jessamine.
Last night, it was a
retributory offer
to put off the candle.
I am here to stay
for prudence, speaking
the dialect of the nameless.
I survive the fetishes
of light. O unknown, I
live in darkness.
Moon was my solemn-
pledge. I had always stayed
in the house of truth.
