Two Poems

-Md. Sahedul Islam Hira 

You!

 

Your smile heals me

but I’m blind to look at faces,

your voice cures me 

but I’m deafened to hear voices

your company refreshes me

but I’m abandoned to stay

your games rejoice me

but I’m paralyzed to play 

 

your touch revives me 

but I’m resigned to live 

your madness frees me

but I’m chained to dive

 

your fingers draw me

but my existence is a lie

you completed me

but I’m permitted to die.

 

 

LIFE

 

Some people call me mad as they’re not,

Some are smiling at me like I am a jerk;

Sometimes they sound to me filthy – hell’s cot-

At the end of the tired day, it seems they bark.

 

Kins do throw cold water to put me down,

Clan starts doubting my inner power;

The beloved world feels kind of unknown,

But everything washed away while taking shower.

 

Friends are singling me from their group party,

Darlings- sudden- ditch me without reason;

Heart starts questioning, “Am I nutty?”

But I am taking everything as a lesson.

 

Only soul says as I listen, “Never give up!”

So, all start praising at last with a big thumbs up.
