banamala sen Poems

I get up at middle of night
And start thinking of you.
You may not believe me,
But that's what I do.
...

I can never stop loving you - that's the problem!

Not in Summer, not in Winter,
...

The curtain in my room is pale yellow,
With golden leaves on it,
My mother lived in this room for a little while,
And left a little bit of her.
...

Not sure when I started loving you.

Was it when we got up at dawn
...

On my birthday,

You gave me the greatest gift of all,
...

অনেকটা জীবন কেটে গেলো অন্ধকারে,
আলোর সন্ধান করে করে।
ভয় করি না, সংশয় রাখি না,
পৃথিবী অনেক দয়ালু -
...

Every minute of our children's life is planned,

Before-school and after -
...

Yesterday night I dreamed a Dream,
I am back in that little garden,
Where we met,
Among Roses and Jasmines,
...

Travelled a long path,
A tumultuous journey,
Stormy nights,
Drudgery of days,
...

I write -
A child demanding sweet potato and roti,
Daughter exhausted looking after sixty patients,
A man not finding his keys,  
...
