Renunciation
I was born alone, I knew nobody here
I learned to stand in time, smiling with all strangers
Took no time to talk a word, creating some deeper touch
Calling friends a life long mate, wondering if they were the Gods.
Now I wonder if I was right
Or should I think my conscience was blind
Having come so far away
Could a friend see you cry.
Had to walk away dropping tear from my eyes
Missing that love, which was like a boundary-less sky
Then I knew life, it was an illusive stay
For everyone we meet, for sure theyre gonna go away.
Now I know I was truly wrong
No ties how tight is so strong
I made my mind, never to cry
And miss somebody who will be gone.
I was born alone and I am gonna die alone
When the truth is so strong, why did I cry again?
Here again I renounce my touch and the feeling that lay inside
For I cant cry again, Ive left my tears behind.
CIGARETTE
I burn your legs,
Bite your head
Suck your soul
And inhale straight.
I crush you beneath
My dirty feet,
Throw you lonely
To your merciless fate.
Been no friend, for so long
Living in my blood, in my lungs
I hate living, you help me die
I puff you out into the sky
Still you call me as a friend
And I rush, to get your smell.
You are the only true friend of mine
In my lonely and ugly times
None had been so close, so dear
To my heart and to my lungs,
Love in my heart, still lies for you
And I dont care about your bitter truth.
..
Wider than the Sea
Sea smiled a charm
And rushed to the shore
Where charm-filled lady
Danced to the tune of silent waves.
To my imagination, sea seemed
To loose its beauty when the sky faced
Lady thundered her smile.
Oh! God, why not all be the same
And why to all does this simplicity not be bestowed?
But wherever we go, we shall adore her charm
And pray god keep his good work alive.
This poem is wholly dedicated to Pravina R.
Friend To Be
When you cover yourself under the veil
Hiding thoughts to your inner soul
And cry the pain which you conceal
Remember there lay this friend to hold.
I know your feelings and your pangs.
So to the thunders I pray for your name,
For your smile, I can renounce this world.
But remember, Raghab be my name.

CITY
Piles of hoarding and neon signs
Lost me from myself beneath
The skyscrapers where
Crowds of men found a way of life,
And to my disgrace, I lost one.
None seemed to care
Even the arrival of dawn,
Since the difference in night and day
Were none and still like fools
All loved the joy of being artist
Of the unending drama.
Dollars and pounds, rupees and francs
Love lost existence in the far off ground
Which had sunk so deep that only few fairy tales
Could name, and it 'just seemed Interesting'
To hear the same.
Losing all hope in the polluted air,
I dreamt of beauty I could find in love
Till a sound of coins woke me up
Thrown at me by passer-by
Thinking me to be a beggar,
Calling it to be a token of love.
At last I realised love's existence still remain
But the way of loving has met an unprecedented change.
CHILDHOOD DAYS
The story is of two young girls
Who met in the road and stared at each other.
One was jealous to see other's ring
The other stared at the other's shoe
And at last they could realise
That they were unconditional friends.
They shared their laughter
And poured their tear,
Talking about their childhood days
When none had rings
In their delicate ears,
When both ran bare-footed
And enjoyed their plays .
BELIEF
Far high in the sky a dim cloud looked
Like a shy princess adorned with smile
And which turned me blue.
A mild wind changed the very view; the princess
To a scary witch. My face turned black .
How do we cling our belief in things
When our eyes start
Singing the song of betrayal
When so long history
Which we've learnt and admired
Turn out to be a story of a drunken man!
ASHAMED SUN
Early morning when the sun comes up,
And to its misery finds the earth burning.
Hears the news of bomb-blasts in the night.
Sun feels ashamed and tries to hide.
It calls the cloud to cover it,
And remembers the earth which used to be good.
Hiding from a corner, moon calls the sun,
Tells of horrifying killings that went before the dawn.
Sun melts in tear but truth is truth.
It loves not to shine today, and it seems to brood.
The blame is on us my brothers, he says,
Love and peace lies only in few prayers today.
ME AND YOU, STAR
Bridge the gap between me
And you star, your glitters
Are driving me insane.
My heart is tough to behold
And my explanations are going futile.
Your twinkles have turned
So dear to me but come close
And give me that heat. God gave
Me no wings to fly but the angel
In you have taken me so high and still
You look ignorant about the love within.
My ways in life are dark, enlighten
It through like a guiding star
And turn me true, burn
The evils that may still
Reside in my heart where
A home have I built for you.
But why do we still pretend
And just smile our love off
In this common air?
And I seem a scared butt
To have loved a princess
Above my grade.
