CLASSIC WATER AND GEOMETRIC LIFE
Haven't you experienced water!
Having smelled pre-historic water,
you can notice it is purely simplified.
Life is geometrically formative too
Through a shower of classic water.
Earthen productivity, smiling corn,
Floating life-time in low-down water,
Endless march of Adam's children
All are geometrically ridged in the map.
Don't you sense the science of water?
The universal cycle revolves with
Water cycle.
House of God is on creative water
That rolls to the ocean straightly
Producing vapour, clouds and rain
Water runs to the sea through drains,
Canals and rivers in a cyclic order.
Would you really like having water?
Give out the fragrance of your wet hair
Like raindrops in a nonstop shower.
INERTIA
All types of modernity obviously a black sea
While it's an inertia.
Still covered my poetic corridor
With some modern grasses.
Symbolic moons try to remove darkness
Even though they know little how to cross
A black sea.
Then, is it pre-historic or nonconforming?
My poetic pulse begins to beat
With some ordinary words and
Makes a poetical hut.
An advanced city looks back to a moon
Brightening archaeological Harappa, and
I open all of my windows to enjoy
A post-modern morning.
I'm neither symbolic nor a saint of words
I'm to touch reality with an intuitive turn,
And cross the modernism
At least like a pre-historic world
Freely rounds the sun.
A THOUGHTFUL KITE
Opened a website of the sky
For an endless quest of experience.
Grey sky has worn a widow's sari
With shuttled clouds to and fro.
And above there is a cerulean ocean
Of a tranquil cover.
Going round all the planets
In a regulation.
In fact, there is nothing to be endless
Hence, the thoughtful kite runs after
In quest of boundary and starts
To the north
In a motive to touch the edge.
After crossing the North Hemisphere,
It is thrown into outer-space
Alike nothingness.
Experience is nothing but the lost aeroplane
In Bermuda Triangle, broken Discovery
Or Pathfinder on Mars.
Is the Logic final option?
Then where is the border of nothingness?
Nothing has no border for its infinity.
Therefore, how the infinity could be existent
While extremely everything is to be limited.
The thoughtful kite keeps constant circling
In the skyline------
Then a cycle of fallacy dominates
The brain-monitor creates a grey-illusion;
Here-after an astral sky of night starts
To flash the red signal.
Declining the moon the vanishing sky comes down
Into my eyes with a sleep
Alike a dead-planet and killed the website.
Sitting on the top of the tree
An aerial mother-kite is hatching her eggs.
A GRASS PROJECT
From the pre-historic time
I've been walking through this planet
My worldly visit took its road through
Babylon
Now stepped in such a territory which is,
In fact, a panoramic internet
Of numerous rivers.
In this river basin
A huge and historic human habitation
Green fields, mountains and forest sides
Made its landscape to outstanding sketches
Bangladesh is the name of this green Delta.
Miles after miles
I'll walk by the side of small rivers,
Green corn-fields and greener villages.
In the overwhelmed scent of green grasses
I will sleep full of spell-bound night.
I smelt it in the spiritual world
While the angels were moving fast
With the grass, leaves, seeds and semen etc.
It was then mixed with my sensation.
Just changed my world from one to many
Actually I'm who was green all the time
Like the grass.
On this planet I've come with a grass-project
I'll grow perpetual grass and observe
How much green
The living being will have been attained.
I'M IN MY EXISTENCE
While thoughtful Descartes
Of whether he was existent or not,
Sitting in my corridor,
My wife cut fish then.
Out of my courtyard
Some goats were eating grasses
Taking dust in their handful
Naughty boys started throwing
From each other.
Coming back airing dust
Domestic cow herd
Just before sunset
The sun was going down
With a colourful exhibition
Having kissed by the departing sun
The leaves had to fall asleep.
There was a hurry in the ferry
From the river
Returning village wives
With the pitcher full of water
Hanging all the beauties
Of the evening
In the neck of the pitcher
And moving with creating
An artistic swing.
Perceptive all these
How could I refuse?
Descartes started to swim
in the essence
And said,
"I think, therefore I am."
A SURREAL LOVE
Heavily touched a untouched healthy cheek
To touch an impossible reality
Sensitivity knows it's not in fortune
Yet leave a bait subconsciously to be happy
She is none in the sense lonely noon knows
Even so lighted a darling dawn calling crows.
