City-Bus Poem by Ashraful Musaddeq

City-Bus

Rating: 3.9


City-bus is crawling one zone to another
Someone is recalling somebody silently
Entering into the dustless cool mall
I may dare to tell all the senior ladies love
May open the cellular phone.

Yellow champak smelling the teen-age
Passerby may suffer from unknown blunder
It's really an untold epic
Somebody feels someone
I may redesign my attributes
May write some lines on the corpuscles.

City-bus is entering into the yesterdays
Yellow neon-evening is moving from tomorrows
I may fall down to the stoppage
May kiss the air might touch your lips someday.

City-bus can't cross the globe
Can't find your cyber destination!

Well Ashraful, Citybus does have its limitations.But still, here you are able to conjour such fleeting urban imagery.

Loved this one going nowhere slowly, means time to think, time to hope and time to dream. Bob

Ashraful, Interesting poems... Also it is perfectly written. The dream 'the noble has put' for the poet. But I would prefer mine the old car... Or on foot... From me 10... Tsira

The title caught me. I knew it was different and modern. Different in theme, different in thoughts, I could say this is based on an experience while daydreaming. Haha, I'm not sure.; p This is inspiring, I'll write something like this.

You describe a very vivid and powerful scene. It leaves me in a bit of a quandary.
