Premium Member Disarray

Sun reflect— soporific effect of sultry, languorous afternoon. A photo album, open in an attic room, of my family and dear friends gone all too soon. Phantasmagorically fey— gallimaufry in stray disarray.

Premium Member Love Belies

Love belies

Pricks deep into heart,
Hurts the tender emotions,
Is love mere word?
Belies the hope and the faith,
Languorous with first cold night !

Lethargic languorous leanings ~ Lilting life, like legato, Abrupt arpeggios alarm an agitant afternoon, Bleary brain breathing ballad beats, Belting burnt out broken blues.

A Bachelor In His Sleep

He still sleeps with 
Languorous hands tucked  
Between his thighs

Screams from his frightening nightmares 
Wake mother to come investigate.
She places her soft fingers 
On his sweaty, burning forehead, 
Asks if everything is fine

And that’s how mother is
To a son with a troubled sleep.

I Saw You Looking At Me

I SAW YOU LOOKING AT ME

The screech of door
Rush of men and women
Languorous over gin and tonic
Stepping down the ladder
Unannoyed at sharpened blade
Of turmoils of yester and morrows .

Dispassinonate I sun
My numb heart
Then I saw you looking at me
In the murmur of monsoon rain
With eyes sappaire crystals .

Premium Member At The End of the Day

The metaphor is lazy now;
a mammoth, sloth-like grazing cow.
Where once it cut like razor wire;
hot spurting fat that hit the fire
that boring repetition quenched;
and all its potent power drenched.
Now the elephant in the room
the dreamy languorous exhume;
because to have the wit to think
could, conceivably, raise a stink.

Premium Member Twilight Lullaby

The night’s stillness beckons her
Promising a warm lingering embrace
Doleful her heart listens captivated

Entranced by languorous mournful lyrics
Reaching deep into her soul
No louder than her heartbeat

Her brazen midnight lover bellows
Ever so quietly and seductively
His soothing enigmatic twilight lullaby

Premium Member Midsummer Scream

Midsummer hot afternoon hip 
From licking lips of ice-cream drip.

Chocolate and mint I often crave 
But strawberry - my old time fave! 

Exquisite, palate pleasing taste - 
My thrilled tongue twirling, soaked and bathed.

Body and mind of chilling bliss - 
Hot and cold dish of ice cream kiss. 

Ultimate height under the sun, 
Where joy and pleasure melts in one. 

Midsummer dream of taunting tease - 
Languorous love in heat wave breeze!

Mental Health

Nowadays
I'm in the shattered sighs
An insipid ink in the poetic realm 
Unable to express in words to words
All green leaves lost in the abysmal thought
No south breeze vibrates the finger's pen
Page of every moment passes everything idly
Springtime of July in Bangla has come and go
No change didn't come to wake the languorous veins
Nothing is in my liking phase anymore really
Because exploring the mental health of politics in poetry.
