[01] How Can I Poem by Ashraful Musaddeq

[01] How Can I

Rating: 5.0


Yesterday is a tale of your bluish promise
You'd arrived into my bed-room of heart
I'd felt soft fingers of love like denim jeans
Smell of your dusky hair kissing the violet air.

Time is now hungry but moon marches slow
Smile beam is walking at cheerful night
Phantom of delight sat on my thought
Am I really going mad to pull out my hairs?

I want to enfold the globe with crimson roses
To fill up the oceans with soft dews
But how can I replicate a yesterday?
Shift a today towards a non-stop tomorrow?

Yes, a poet can do it. You must be knowing that I am a devil poet. Insanity is my dress. Immorality is my religion.I give sound to soundlessness. I give colour to invisibility.I am in conflict with my beloved who created this devil.

There is something very refreshing in finding such different combinations of words and images... Nice work Ashraful... the longing and frustration are presented clearly and poetically...

Ah! How wonderful to be loved by a poet I should say when offered poems for roses Who longs for an unchanging love In a changing world. May your love live long and fragrant, my friend, I was astonished to read this poem painted with the crimson of roses, a rare offering to our eyes and mind, I thank you for this. Angel
