Pleasures of the rural life

Pleasures of the rural life, a photo by Emad Islam on Flickr.

Oh knew he but his happiness of men
The happiest he! who far from public rage,
Deep in the vale, with a choice few retir'd
Drinks the pure pleasures of the rural life.

শূন্যতার কাঁটাতারে (Barbed Wire)

শূন্যতার কাঁটাতারে (Barbed Wire ), a photo by Emad Islam on Flickr.

তোমাকে ঘিরে পথগুলো সব সরে যায়
রাত্রির এই একা ঘর ঝুলে আছে শূন্যের কাঁটাতারে....

তবু এই দুটি কাঁটাতারে, শহরের মতো করে
ভিড়ে ভরে গেছে ঘুম আমার অচেতন কখন বেওয়ারিশ, মাটির কাছে এসে সময়কে এপিটাফ ভেবে হাঁটু গেড়ে বসে...

Rejoicing vs Wasting

Rejoicing vs Wasting, a photo by Emad Islam on Flickr.

Sometimes a thing always knocks me... What is more important rejoicing a festive by Wasting Resource? Or saving the resource for other important needs… I have seen this lighting decoration for seven days at least… We are facing load shedding almost every single day still I don’t know why people still do these types of things… Sure celebrate your moments but why wasting the resource for six more days? Was that really necessary?

Moonstruck

Moonlight...
Shining deep into my mind..
Light the dark side of my soul..
I'm moonstruck on the whole...
Darkness embracing my sense...
In the pale light of the moon...
Darkness has taken control
I'm moonstruck on the whole...
