I thought about sharing this one with someone in person rather than posting it in front of the world, but everything that you think does not happen! It could be yesterday, that after a long wait I could have done as I thought, or I could have just waited a little more patiently for some more time. But then there is a perfect moment made for everything, and right now it is striking me with this poetry of mine, which I wrote quite a long while ago!

Kono ak  majh dupure, bhison grishme, ghum-ta
Jodi hothat e gechhilo bhenge, tobe keno, sopno-ta
sopno hoye lege thekechhilo sedin,
sara-ta din, proti-ta kaj-e!
Dirghokhon pore pawa kono jol-e
Bindu bindu trishna hoye nebha; opaar theke
Jhapta laga thanda ak-tukro, batash bodhoy-
Or-e naam er moton! Loadshedding-e
Bhije jete jete sobai, sondhyebel-e
Chhad-e bosechhilo shohor. tokhoni-
Ontakshori hoye, kobita amar tomari thnot-er jonyo
Chhutochhuti-ta korchhilo sei chhad-e!
Obochetone takano, dur-akasher tara
jemon! temoni tomar jonyo prem
Sara shohhor-ta ujarh kore fele
Khnuje firchhilo tomar chul-er gondho.
Nijer-e angul e shihorito ami gopone
Tomakei bhebe japon korechhilam
Sedin-er sei hothat onubhob-e
Lege thaka sei tibro jwalar sopno.
Tokhono to dekhi, amar proti-ta sporsho-
Kon jaadu-te je 'tumi' hobe bole jhorchhe!
Tokhono to dekhi loadshedding er chhad-e,
Sopno-ta aka 'tumi' hoye paay-chari
Thamiye diye jhnapiye porlo ekhane,
Jwala-e jolchhe je bindu-ta akhono.....
