Would you shed a tear
Or just live like everyday
If it is tomorrow
That God takes me away
To his kingdom in the clouds
Would you watch me there, as I float about?
I fear when darkness steals the light.
And your image, I lose sight,
For in it, I always find delight—
Of staring, not for a brief, nor slight.
I tremble when silence deafens the music,
And hear not the sound I seek;
For your voice, soft and meek,
Inspires hope, never so bleak.
I quiver when coldness douses the warmth,
And ashes the fire from the hearth;
For your embrace is light to my path,
Wrapping me tender, like a swath.
I dread when rancor drowns the bliss.
And moments with you, I sorely miss
For the time of love, I always wish
Casting loneliness down the abyss.
Be my comfort, always,
My unending strength;
For none could fill your place —
Your love and tenderness.
Our hearts be in perfect harmony
My Heart, home of the Undying is open and healed
Lifetime after lifetime arduous I journeyed, peeled
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Praise the Lord
Again I say praise the Lord
Give Him all your undying love
You know your peace comes from above
Praise your God
Again I say praise your God
Linger in His halls of justice
Where inner peace flows from Him
See the Father as your all and all
There's nothing the world can satisfy
Let's hold on to our hopes and dreams
Hopes and dreams we can't deny
Unbound Verse**
Words flow free, like water's gentle sway,
Unchained by rhyme or meter's strict decree.
A river of thought, meandering with ease,
Expressing depths, unfettered and at ease.
No measured beats restrict its rhythmic stride,
No forced cadences mar its natural stride.
It dances with the soul, a graceful flight,
Unburdened by the confines of the night.
Like whispers carried on the wind's soft breath,
Free verse weaves tales of joy, despair, and death.
It paints emotions in vibrant hues untold,
A tapestry of feelings, raw and bold.
In its unbound freedom, truth takes flight,
Unveiling secrets hidden from the light.
It speaks of dreams and hopes, both grand and small,
And echoes voices that reverberate through all.
So let the words flow unrestrained and wild,
In free verse's embrace, untamed and mild.
For in its boundless realms, the soul finds grace,
A sanctuary where thoughts find their rightful place.
I love his body.
He always says he loves mine.
I love his spirit.
He always reciprocates.
He and I share divine love.
This love is a needle ,
It pricks my gentle chest,
Like a thorn it tears my tissues away ,
A great sensation of pain caresses my soul,
Sweet yet unbearable,
Like the sky on mercury retrograde.
It burdens my soul yet lifts my spirit,
Somehow I can't seem to escape it,
Like an occurrence of hurricane,
It clouds my judgement,
And blocks my instincts ,
Evidently I feel it alone .
I waited for tomorrow,
And time laughed on my face,
The cherry blossoms never blossomed,
Tomorrow forgot to visit ,
A stranger acquired you ,
Yet I'm left holding on to these emotions,
Time heals all wound they say,
But there's no healing an unwounded heart ,
Or an unscared soul ,
I chose pain ,
After setting my eyes on you ,
I knew it could never be returned,
Yet I chose to pour it out unconditionally,
I'm a fool in love I can't reason,
I'm a fool in love I'm brainless,
Just dying to be loved by you ,
Desperation drives my current fate.

What beautiful words to hear
A warm fuzzy feeling envelopes our soul
Words that always endear
True love is the reason we all exist
Travelling down life's bumpy road
Without love to guide us, we'd all be lost
Struggling with life's heavy load
Many times in life, love invades our soul
Each time it feels so intense
It's the warmest emotion we've ever felt
As deep as the ocean immense
Nothing has really ever felt any sweeter
In each dream I see her face
Just holding her sweet body close to mine
In a warm and loving embrace
I've loved this lady for many long years
It's as strong as it was at the start
Memories rush back to the very beginning
Back when she captured my heart
To become the flame,
we must agree to dissolve,
in the void of nothingness.
Love in love with love,
for the sake of love alone,
revels in its own fragrance.
Tale of valour is about to unfold
Gallant knight's effigy in marble so cold
Once he was stalwart full of manly vigour
The name was feared his enemies shivered.
Yet, there was young maiden who loved him well
Like moth to flame, he did compel
Her wings were singed as she flew to his side
Throughout her short life, she did abide.
How she was missed but he never let on
Astride great charger his armour shone
Safe in his heart was her very own place
Never to forget beloved face.
Spirits are free in either they rise
Listen to breeze you will hear soft sigh
One thousand years they are still in love
Medieval moment on wings of Dove
1952. Curfew was on and roads were vacant.
Some armed hands were still haunting there
To hush every possible roar or uprising rant
With the spiteful hammer of thunderous fear.
But a murmur of revolution was soon heard
As thousands of spirited people marched on
With the resilience of restoring their barred
Language from the threshold of extinction.
They protested peacefully carrying placard
Of their clauses until the armed hands fired
And soaked them with blood in vain to retard
Undying voices that can never be smothered.
Each drop of the sacrificial blood has built
the monument of revolution that will always
Shine as a star of Devotion and forever quilt
The vigorous souls with its contagious rays.
Their immortal death blazed a fire of liberty
in hearts that were in the grip of oppression.
Soon, it became a furnace that burned Deity
Of Oppression and Bangladesh was born.
The heaven's eye becomes tired
With rage,
Water endless in the sea.
Winter deflowers the tree,
Spring fills the fissures-
The process constant all year round.
Clouds take off the canopy-
Vapours make a sail
Occuring in cycles.
Leaves green and alive
Develops gray hue,
A tree never stops dreaming.
A silent undying love --is most of the time,the antidote to liberty.
