Colourful pain by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 9:02pm

Some like to think pain to be black
Some think pain is all about blue
But whenever I've felt it within
I've felt 'n' seen it in every hue !

The yellow noon lulls the inmates slow
But my vigilant lonely eyes in tears glow
I wish to hold back  the receding sway of love
Only to find all my agonies right on queue!


The crimson twilight overcast my sky
It beckons the evening smiling wry
I sniff the beauteous smell of the day
Receding far ; I just meet my pain anew !

"I" isn't me by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Saturday, April 9, 2011 at 2:00am

The more it chokes the more I laugh
For it's not that bad 'n' not that tough.
The surround goes joyous when I smile
I hide the tears and with what great style!
I run ahead leading all with high-up face
Not looking back to see I'm not in the race !
Having got so familiar with this role of mine
I just  do outstanding and go superbly fine.
Only at the intervals I've to keep this in me
That this isn't my home , this "I" isn't  me really!

Images

I tip-toe in the dark
I reach for  my brush 'n' colour
I paint thousand images
Images with the touch of a morning
A morning studded with dew-drops
Dew-drops reflecting my love !

Only the night knew ! by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Saturday, January 15, 2011 at 10:23pm

While opening my eyes to the first rays of the sun
I whispered to them  how I like to see you !
My eyes smiled with the glowing light!

I relished the sight of the noon river that ran glistening
I felt the bubbly ripples with my fingers .
I let them know my thoughts about you !

I tip- toed to the  crimson gown worn evening sky ,
I smelt the faded smoke of the burnt leaves
I crooned a tune or two to sing about you!

The  sun rays whispered into your ear my whisper
The ripples giggled to tell you my thought
The evening  spread my tunes around you
But you didn't hear them , not knew their words !

Only the night knew all when I cried to say to it all
I got merged with the misty gloom and darkness
I opened my heart to unfold the love of mine
Not you , only the night knew that I couldn't help it at all !

I lament by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 12:54am

I am a poet of every moment
Though my story unheard goes ,
My poems have also been about you
You the fading one who never shows
I have reduced into a non-entity while being just with you
I lament my lonely self , what matters so many are in this avenue !

Those were the days....... by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 9:04pm

Those were the days .........
Days of those nursery rhymes
When I wondered at the little star
Thinking my wonder would  end there .

Those were the days.......
Days of whiling away sweet carefree time
When in a sulking face I pouted at trifles
Thinking my sulking would be just like this.

Those were the days.......
Days of craving for the role of an older one
When I used to wear an air of a grown-up
Thinking  only that much acting would be all.

You've taken possession by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 2:48pm

I've been looking for my fond thoughts
That used to play with me,
I've been looking for those joyous songs
That used to give me company!
Lost are those carefree moments
Which I used to loiter away laughing on and on,
All these have evacuated my heart
Since the day you've, of my heart, taken possession !

Some emptiness by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Monday, April 11, 2011 at 12:08am

The lovely afternoon spreads all over , the sun light gets golden soft,

Trees ooze out a shimmering glow......

This heart's about to fly to a fairy-tale land ......

Something pricks the heart........



The satin smooth night is here , the wind is with its best melody ,

The atmosphere has garbed itself in best attire.....

This heart is overwhelmed with this beauty....

Some thought chokes the throat.........



The pure morning wakes up , freshening everything around

The smell of a new day fills the senses.....

This heart starts dreaming with renewed hope.......

Yet some emptiness inside brings tears............

I know this moment ! by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Monday, March 14, 2011 at 10:45pm

I know this moment
Such moments came to me before ;
I know what to do now
I'll have to trick my tears not to pour;

I know that is just how I take blows,
Even me myself not feels or knows !

And when  amidst the whirlpool I look around
With all its jaws and claws the Reality's found !

Something

Something........something

Lures me away to an unknown-self of mine.........

Something.........something

Sneaks in when I feel complacent , I feel fine......

Something..........something

Blots up my familiar-self when I seem so fair........

Something...........something

Coaxes me into doing  things I shouldn't dare.........

Something........that something

Keeps sunken not letting know it's still there

Something........that something

Gets me to thinking "What if I don't care?"

Lost-Me by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Tuesday, July 5, 2011 at 12:00am

I'm afraid I've lost myself days back !
In the crowd of my favourite lipsticks
In the pages of my darling  book-rack,
I desperately  looked  in my chair-creaks !

Neither my wardrobe nor my trinkets
Could give me any clue about "lost-me"
I looked  into the peep-hole of my ringlets
Gone was "myself ",just vanished carefree !

And then my mirror looked askance at me
Why was the search so on- the- surface? 
For it didn't know that I  couldn't delve to see,
For I'd only chosen trivialities for me to brace !

He is the one.... by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Saturday, March 26, 2011 at 1:30am

He is the one who's in love with love
He  wishes to hear the song of Angels
He responds to the small coo of the dove
He listens to the music of the sea- shells.
He loves the rain pouring down
He loves them fall like pins on face
He loves to wear a leaf- made -crown
He wishes to hold speedy time's fast pace!
But the moment he tries going unknown
He becomes so known all the more
Like those emotions were long before  shown

Though we tell him that he's the eyesore !

Cracks ................... by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Thursday, May 26, 2011 at 12:58am

Waxy
Smooth
Bright
Cheerful
Just too lovely
Do you see what I see ?

I see some cracks there .

He was in love with me by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Friday, May 6, 2011 at 9:48pm

He loved the sun
He was in love with me,
The sun went generous
But that  I couldn't be.


He asked for fire
And he was filled with rage,
How I tried to tell him
I couldn't turn over the page.


He loved  the rain
He was in love with me
Rain got him drenched all over
I couldn't go in rain like he .


I asked for rain drops
I needed them for me to hide
He never knew me truly
He just untied that had us tied

Dwindled into a me-less by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Thursday, August 25, 2011 at 1:40am

I treasured you secretly in my heart
As I sat once with a flickering candle
You were like  a whirlpool, I thought
I believed that was too much to handle !

So taking care, I dammed up the onrush,
Flushed and blushed I rushed to flee
But the slightest of wind got me caught
I couldn't face it nor  could I ignore me !

Moments were there you got me broken
Moments I spent  collecting those pieces
But  hardly I  knew I stood only to fall again
 I smiled to find me dwindling into a me-less !

The void by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Sunday, May 1, 2011 at 11:42pm

A void I feel remains there
Green meadows stretch far
Leaving a greenness on me
Yet the void does glare !

The void is still there
The afternoon sun goes soft
Lighting up my hair orange
But then the void does stare !

The void is always there
The starry night glows so rich
Twinkling my heart sings sweet
Oh the void isn't ready to spare !

The void  now looks bare
It looks into my eyes deep down
Jeers hard as it's me its creator
"Avoiding me , not fair, not fair "

Words Bade Adieu by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 12:49am

Words,so sweet and beautifully wrought ,
Once used to be among my kith and kin
But what went wrong within I know not
All bade adieu leavin' me in deafening din .

Words I took pride in now pull a face so wry
Called in a question I'm and my fingers waver
Unable to write ,my heart sighs to get arid dry
I'm all ears in vain , for the Muses voice quaver.

Words, once filled me with pure joy and elation
Look contrite, suffering from being meaningless
Miserable, I keep missing that power of creation.
Oh this silent scream of mine ! I'm in nothingness !

None's Nowhere ! by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Saturday, July 9, 2011 at 10:34pm

Here I'm being like Alexander Selkirk
The undisputed monarch;
None is seen as far as the eyes go
The stranded lonesome;
Many kingdoms encircle from all sides
With so aloof a stand;
I'm, in vain, maintaining a countenance
Sometimes about to fail;
Feel like screaming "Is there anyone?"
An echo is to be found;
I choke , I cry,with me and without me
Tears only in one eye;
Some desperate moments show me myself
Extra sensitivity stabs;
My guardian angel Sanity intervenes to say,
To remind none's nowhere.

Poem -Words Bade Adieu by Farhana Sharmin Gazi on Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 12:49am

Most of the time I remain oblivious of you

Only when I smell the beautiful bright day
I smell some sweet memories of you
Only when the Door knocks at a sleepy noon
I dream you standing out at my door
Only when I listen to a song that sings my heart
I hear you singing along with that
Only when I watch a movie that I love to see
I watch you there playing a major role
In fact most of the time I remain oblivious of you
Only when it's the evening comes to sit by me
I feel you sit along to tell the day's story.
It's only just then I remember and think of you

But most of the time I remain oblivious of you !
