Premium Member Where Did You Go, My Brother - Translation

This is a TRANSLATION from a Poem in Bengali (a regional language in India) by SAGARIKA DAS, who is my sister. My brother left us on July 5, 2021. 



on this rainy day, in the dark...
where are you gone, my sweet brother?
we were all waiting for you,
for your return ...
we all would live together,
we all would surround you.
In this dark night,
where did you go, my kind brother?

with a heart-felt smile, with a heart-felt mind.
you used to extend your supporting hands,
you were for us all,
the sky above.
In this dark night,
where did you go, my sweet brother?

the field was yours,
when you had the ball,
status was never your concern,
it was humility, who were you.
your tolerance was as endless as an ocean,
your love equally knew no bounds,
your heart was as pure
as was your demeanour.
in this stormy night...on a solitary journey...where did you go,
my kind brother?

you created a cherished nest,
with your darling wife,
left the life of true happiness,
severing the bond,
on this rainy day, alone...
please come back, my brother.

Don'T Only Concern Yourself With a Man's Salary

Cash should not only be your main concern
Burn against the error of our time and you will
See the proof in your future husband!

Defend your heart
Let a hermeneutical perspective live inside you
If your man makes you cry, wipe your face
Do not let money be your only issue
Do not worry too much about burning calories
Face reality
Destroy the brutality in relationships!

Do not only concern yourself about the concept of a man’s salary
Although it is important, too many women suffer later!
If your future man acts like a boy
He will treat you like a ‘toy’ and that is catastrophic
So do not only concern yourself with a man’s salary!

Premium Member Dark Love

love the night, the lack of glare,    the subtle sounds
the hoot of owl and the  warm street light,  oh love,

love the blue black all around  my heart pounds
my blood rushes     firecrackers fly above

moon captured,  Japanese lanterns on a string

jewel gingerbread houses    lullaby winds

the stroke of love as it laps    the church bell's ring

love the down comforters   nighttime's soft grin 

love the punched hole made with a pin   on black
to view the eclipse while the sun takes nap

cherish  the silhouette dark  paper unpacked 
images of lovers ones all unwrapped 


*Without the dark, we wouldn't see the stars.*

Premium Member I AM

"You will have bad times but I will always wake you up to the good times that you weren't paying attention to"       ~~Robin Williams~~

When all seems lost, and he is in his darkest hour, 
I am his power.
When pain takes over his demented twisted mind,
I am the love he will find.
When he feels alone and confusion drapes a morbid veil, 
I am his caregiver that will pave a healing trail.
When sadness torments him beyond belief,
I am his relief.
When dementia strikes its ugly blows,
I am his rock, the one that never goes.
When voices fill his mind with terror,
I am his clarity his sanity bearer.
When his wounded soul cant take any more,
I am the one that can help his peace to restore.
That's all that I am, I am his wife,
I will be with him for the rest of his life.

Chamber of Becoming

We laid our breath
in the cold dish of morning
not to warm it,
but to watch it vanish.
The way ghosts do.

You struck the match inside me
with a tremor,
like forgiveness
forgot to be kind.

I was not born for light.
I was spilled
like ink across your undone name,
every letter twitching
like a fish on the wrong side of water.

You came in with no skin,
I gave you mine.
You left with it,
stitched to your memory
like a farewell garment.

Now I wander these ribbed corridors,
each echo a footstep
I never took.

Not dead.
Not quite.
Just learning
the shape of love
in an afterlife we invented.

If you'd like the next one,
our merged lament in even darker hues
I am ready. Just say, 
descend.


Calling through the Night

Far beyond the stars
Can you hear me now?
Through the endless dark
Breaking somehow

Oooooh, reaching out...
Reaching out to you
Oooooh, breaking out...
Breaking out for you

Calling, calling through the night
Sending signals, burning bright
Calling, calling, can't you see?
There's a space where you should be

Miles of empty sky
Still I send my sign
Though you're far away
Find me, make it stay

Calling, calling through the night
Sending signals, burning bright
Calling, calling, can't you see?
There's a space where you should be

Beyond the stars
Beyond the dark
Beyond time

The Dark World of Mine

And I welcome you to the dark world of mine
Lust and desire, love and sexual fire
A place where night is to stand still in time
With an energy so intense, to carry you higher

Where naked bodies entwine and unite
Where love is shared without jealousy in content
Each to each a soul of affection never to hide
Of the other world to be forgotten and condemn

You will learn to love anew in the pureness of dark
To unveil the forbidden corners of one’s inner spirit
To master the angers of love with hatred torn apart
And to forever be within the gifts of wondrous period

Heavier be things lifted lighter in burdens
Lighter be things extinguished into nothingness
And soon will the spell of the enigma be broken
And to be one with the dark in forever darkness

Reality as then, will be viewed with eyes anew
Everything everywhere can be seen with thoughts so clear
Yet… can you be those of chosen few
To love darkness in this world of mine without fear

Today Could Have Been a Better Day

Today could have been a better day.


There is nothing wrong with singing a song,
As long as the words are right.
When all is said and nothing’s done,
Just start again and set alight,
The wishes that you used to have.
Ain’t got no bag so full of beans.
No way to learn everything.


I’ve got to fly through the night air or be unseen.
If all you say is meaningless, then just get out.
I’m out of breath to waste on dreams.
All you think, you only ever said out loud,
I never wanted you to speak;
So drop the act and leave,
Because all these pretty things you say,
Are only said in jest, with hate.
No malice left to fight for peace.
I’m all used up inside.
No masterpiece will ever be produced.
All the pointless things I do,
Are only to annoy you and all you do is take my time.


You waste my time, with only lies, on Valentines.
You talk of love and I’m left in stitches;
Side splitting jokes about your kisses.
Nothing ever makes me smile,
So pack a bag and leave here, I’ll,
Find myself a way to misbehave.
A way to get away from all you say
And I will find a better way to say,
Today could have been a better day.

Rose's Thorn

Calm is strength.
Silence says everything.
Bend, don’t break.
Healed, not hiding.

They didn’t see me coming—
because I never
needed to announce
myself.

Softened, not shrank.
My silence
wasn’t surrender—
it was strategy.

I became too whole
to fit inside
their opinions.

My strength
is a river—
steady, shaping stone.

Not loud,
just unshakable.
I wear peace
like armor.

My crown
is quiet,
but it shines.

I held my fire—
and lit the way.
They built walls;
I planted roots.

They looked down.
I looked within.
I never needed noise
to matter.

I did
what I wanted.

Enlightening Love

When the eclipse of Sun darkens entire universe,
The drought-infested soil waits for tender shower.
Love comes, delivers it from that dreadful curse,
Pouring its enlightening shower from holy bower.

All pains, struggles, sufferings seem non-existent
When there is love, when there is love’s presence.
After eclipse, sun appears brighter, clear, content.
After stings of Dark, Love brings a luminescence.

The lamp of love enlightens interiors of the heart
Where vermin try to eat up the veins of morality.
Love renews the heart by clearing the fallen dirt,
Awakens drowsy world with trumpet of equality.
