poem

love?

i will offer.

heart ?

that too

will be offered.

from the corner of my lip

only a pinch-of-love

will ask for

-should you have it.

if you want flowers,

i will bring 101 white lotus

from the black lake

lovely

Bangladesh

 

POEM

HOUR

Sowing a sapling

In your hot heart

I SAID-

You didn’t give me anything

Man , in depth of feeling

Waits like raindrops

I  was pale

Waiting like dewdrops

More than anything eles

Through the long walks of earth

The deep wheel rolls repeatedly

My waiting has touched the cloud

Waking in the vast field

Nothing in sight

Yet dust floats

In the shadow of twilight

In the singing instrument of Baul

Like an eager bird

I  look up with open eyes.

LOVELY

poet of

Bangladesh

 

 

POEM

Write about your strongest memory of heart-pounding belly-twisting nervousness: what caused the adrenaline? Was it justified? How did you respond?
