On my Way...to Meet the Macaw!

On my Way...to Meet the Macaw!
My pastel moods
"Some murmur, when their sky is clear

And wholly bright to view

If one small speck of dark appear

In their great heaven of blue:....."

-Trench

...Women are fastidious, and now you know a bit about me.


THE ONLY LONELY

THE ONLY LONELY
"Deserted at his utmost need,
By those his former bounty fed;
On the bare earth exposed he lies,
With not a friend to close his eyes."

- Dryden.

DWITIYO CHITHHI




Mon Ami,
I wonder if Milton, Keats, Byron and millions of those envied minds could do a minute without their quill, their home? I call it home. It lies
doggo at some niche, leering at my waltz with time and then when I bid goodbye to the perfunctory trail of the day, I can hear uproars mumbling. The oracular tympanum gets on the move. I almost give in to the twinge but I'm hugged with grace. IT is DEXTEROUS! Here I step into my Home Sweet Home- the unison of pastel moods, of ideas contradictory, ideas making allegory; to bewail mirth, rejoice grief. You make home my pen. It is at your tip that I learn to live, learn to live for, every moment every day.
" swapner neel khame,
ural aami bhorbo notun kore;
akasho kusumo choyone,
melbo pakha tomar torun naam e."



The above lines give way to an inspired rhyme.
Certain Bengali words have been emphasised with an 'O' just to make you pronounce them in that way so as you do not neglect the iambic pentameter.
