Anamika

Her name matches with a name of a tree "Kamranga"
I've never seen the tree
I've never found a friend of Botany
Delving into it.
It might be an average
Too average to be counted in the dashing world.

She never stepped in a school
She never knew to read
Time yanked her cradle
She never saw the aubade.

She stepped out, She saw the dark
She chucked the relations
She could not leaf the politics through
"Padma" was dressed in bloods.

She glided by the roads, borders
Casted her thumb in thousands books
She first saw the light when in "Sutanuti"
People were fighting for the subsistence.

Nobody fussed over her tears while
She hustled to get in the queue to dine
Nobody eyed if she could snatch
ANAMIKA - You learn to fight.

To You(2)

Time I killed
Time carried me off
I fell short to see you hiding
Behind the ignored copse.

I will be back on the crossroad
Where I last saw you to smile.
I will be back in the evening
When we first touched the hail.

Eyes I shut
Dreams I blaze
Though I beheld you ambling
Down the muddy days.

I will be back I cross heart
Though I changed to Poise in the tide
Though bloods hit my tears
Joshing with Uzi
I will be back to hold you tight.

TO YOU...

I did want you differently
Not like the way you are
Thousand brooms made my mind
Had it hidden in the changing wind.
You are at the back in Ninth
You were in red, I found the sea
You were sixteen
In my bare sight of the late teens.
I could remember the book was opened
There was the wind and "Rupasi Bangla"
I could hear the train as it railed
You passed the road, nobody claimed.
You were fair as my hopes
As the tiny leaf in the spring
You were sixteen
Never gazed at me burning.
You were in red
When you left me in the dust
Running towards the pale stairs
Still I call you - a name of a brook "Titas".
I die to love you
Though I do not like the way I do.
