Farewell and Fare Thee Well

August 17, 2017 by thebengali

My life is winding itself down  And I know my time is coming soon I have been blessed to have lived such a meaningful life  I have been blessed to know so many people But I won’t be here any more  I have done all I wanted and more I have no regret or desires But I won’t be here to see you grow  I look at the spirit in your eyes  I feel the strength of your hands  In […]

Ansh

August 13, 2017 by thebengali

The parts of me I had locked away. Are they still alive? Still breathing? Are they still Me? And the parts of me that I lost along the way? The ones I abandoned? The ones I hated? The ones I loved too much for my own good? The ones that left me? The ones that I simply grew out of? Are they still me? Are they still out there? Waiting for me to rediscover them? Reach out to them? And am […]

The Mirror

December 5, 2016 by thebengali

When you look into my eyes Is it me your seeing Or a reflection of your own self? When you listen to my voice Is it my mood you hear Or a resonance of your own feelings? When you hear my words Is it my thinking you recognise Or a vibration of your own thoughts? When you touch my hand Is it my energy that you feel Or a two-way flow? When you come to me with questions Is it […]

Age of Endless Time

August 22, 2016 by thebengali

My Days are deep, dark nights Deep, dark nights of pain. Pain gained from misplaced trust In the frail constitution of the human name. My Nights are long, lonely vigils  Vigils on account of pain Pain earned through day-long labours On the hard knock school of earning daily bread. My Weeks are a string of Days and Nights Strung together by sheer belief Belief in the resilience of the Spirit And the lack of sense to know when to quit. My […]
