Ula Poem by BONGOKOBIDA ZAKARIA

Ula



Ula

Kabya at mid noon lying under a tree of day de pier camp was going through the Maupassant. Intolerable hot of summer and radiance of sunlight comes. The Côte d'Azur flowing over the edge falls on beach. Sun bath lovers are gathering. Kabya is lying under a tree of camp spreading a mat wearing half pant, scarf on head and no cloth in body. Two or there empty chairs in front. Going through the Maupassant often being dazed in dream, stare at sky through the gap of tree. That is get at sky which can not be touched. Some students from Poland have come in education tour. They have taken shelter in front of his camp. Some are running all rounds. Kabya looked at them with annoyance. He took it as throwing stone at his dreamy palace. Suddenly an occurrence happened. Kabya failed to understand either it was a dream or real. A lady of never seen beauty came to him. No, it was not dream but real. In front of eye could touch no sooner hand is spreader, He felt that his dreamy lady of blue eyes in front of him looking at. Without utterance- without touch talk indiscreetly, no hearing- no utterance impression on mind. To love some one without hearing or seeing, this is the love at first time; it is said fall in love. Expanding hand with smiling face she told in almost Borden English, hello, how are you, Kabya confusedly looked at her, incident of a moment, but it seemed that, six days of creation have passed, now story of glance begins. In requesting voice the lady said, could I take away a chair from here? Kabya gave consent shaking head like a fool. The blue eyed lady gave thanks with smiling face. Continuing smile she said, if you feel bore you can join with us. Within a moment removing animation Kabya replied, I feel proudly. Coming- coming by one minute. Blue eyed my azure. Kabya peeped through the gap of leaves at sky. Closing eye thought a while. Opened eye, turned back to his azure, fired eyes. Waving hand his azure is calling- incredible. Yes-really azure is calling him. Singing...

O beloved come to my heart
This heart and soul is only yours
Come to make beauty-fruitful
O beloved come to my heart.

Earth is ornamented by flower to-day
Butterfly has exposed wings
Dream has become truth to-day
Butterfly has exposed wings
Dream has become truth to-day
Then why are you so late? Speak out

If I go away-never meet again
Sorrow will accompany the painful mind
No, no-will accompany the painful mind
No, no-wish it not to happen
Your azure will remain yours.

Oh! Look at the moon of sky
Fair of stars loitering in forest,
Come beloved- put you in pledge
That’s the uncounted wealth to me.

Come beloved to my heart
I shall offer the forbidden fruit of love
The first sun of dawn
O beloved come to my heart.

Hallow, again she waved her hand, kabya returned from imaginary world. Coming he replied, keeping the book on mat, putting on Guernsey he went ahead to them with packet of Marlboro. Forwarding hand kabya said, we talked but our acquaintance is yet incomplete. Azure smiled sweetly, shaking hand said I am ula and you? I am kabya.
More talks, exchange of acquaintance with new friends, further thus whole evening passed. Last stage of day come according to ever rule sun set in the west. All are in tense for returning camp. But kabya and ula lost them self in talking. They are not conscious about the coming night fall. All left for camp one after one. But the moment seemed to them as first and last. As there is no past and future accept present. Only this time is truth. Such Kabya and ula unconsciously came in embracement. Both minds became united. Going on embracing the lost them self at pick of kiss heaven. It seemed that thousand pigeons in front of St. Mark's square of Venice. They are also couple of pigeon; do the lovers connect their lips being inspired by that of pigeon? May be may be not. Not appears all right excitement working in kabya.

To day is the day of love- day of love, happy birth day of love. Love composed from today. Beautiful of rose feels from today also. Nilima is my nectar- color of mind perfumed dawn with rose aroma. Mind exposes on butterfly wind bee gees the spiritual formula. Come all to conquer the state of rose. Sun bid good bye many times before.
Moon seems like a diamond at dark. Could charm be realized without seeing the sea?
Sea may be so calm--.
Gentle cold air, night filled with pleasant stars, Enraged breathing of both. Kabya embraced ula without first excitement. After a light kissing kabya said- I am in love with you. Ula with arrogance breath said, I like you. Is the difference between love and liking parallel to difference of time or distance between Asia and Europe? Or it is cultural difference? After liking sexual harmony- kissing may happen. But what is about mind? No. Mind may offer only to beloved. Desiring or sexual harmony with many persons is possible, but is it possible to fall in love with many persons? Nilima was right and I was wrong. Yes, I was wrong, I have liked you. Nilima you appeared good to me. Two weak passed in this manner. Swimming in sea beach of Mediterranean sea near the little village Biot, taking sun bath at hotter noon, and meeting at evening at Antiblond Park time went on passing very swiftly of them. After two weeks the time came to be departed. They came in sense they are in love with each other. By no means are they of two different continent as well as two different religious. One is copper colored, other is white. But no difference obstructed only the time of separation became obstruct but that was not of ever parting- Yet mind does not to accept. For the first time Kabya felt that other than mother could be loved. Embracing ula, kabya went on crying in torrents. Nature becomes silent suddenly- southern wind stopped- leaves become motionless calm, chirping of birds stopped.

If you want to leave, go away
Do not shed tears this moment
Unbearable hardship – pain in heart
Alone – I am alone
If you want to leave, go away
Do not return sobbing
Alone I am alone
Bid no farewell
If you want to leave, go away
I shall not oppose.

Kabya looked at the leaving car. He forgot how much time he waited there. Suddenly one of his friend fabian came and pushed him. He returned in sense and sobbed at once, as he is leaving earth floating on air, what an extreme wrong. For The first time he felt fare well is so painful so burning.

Lean river, lean river
Knee deep water
Where is- where is
The high tide
Nature is glum today, sky is cloudy
Something another on opposite of cloud
Either weal or woe.
