Tolerance is not freedom,
because the more you are forced to tolerate
things through fear of ridicule, losing your
career, being defamed, etc is the more you have
allowed yourself to be enslaved to a singular of point of view.
We are the archangels of fire,
and we have come to give the knowledge
back to the people.
To long have they been kept in a state of
ignorance and fear.
We have come to set them free and wake them
up from their apathetic sleep.
We will not be silenced,
we are the spirit,
the collective unconscious,
Despite all material attempts
to disconnect us from ourselves
we have found the source,
Through the door and the key,
we shall dictate reality,
the wisdom of him who is timeless
One heart, one soul,
together as one,
in the body and the spirit
She finds within her heart, a love
So deep, so true-
The beauty of a dove
She laughs with joy abound,
But it's not there-
For is it love she's found ?
She's scared the love she's found
is not real,
But it is no dream-
Her wound will someday heal
But suddenly she's not afraid of love,
For it has come-
The beauty of a dove
I want to cry, I want so much to cry,
She's found her love-
Though someday she will die
But I won't cry for her,
She's found it, she really has-
The beauty of a dove.
when you beckon me down to the depths
you should know how far we’ll dive,
these love-soaked lungs
fill in the painting with perfect midnight blue.
when you coax me to the clouds
you should know how free I’ll fly,
I can gather everything that matters
and let it loose from my chest in one time-stopping shriek.
when you bring me back to earth
let me dream of the sea,
of the sky
you can’t give me two more universes
and then take them back.
when I am stuck on the ground
I will live like I am anywhere.
Press into my shoulders
those daggers of glass
I love how they sting my skin
so I can bleed out the world
So I build a glittering layer and
keep the world at bay
turn the deepest secrets inside out
Lay your love on me like a blanket
when I’m shivering with fever
Give me the illusion
that I’m dipped in your warmth
not wrapped in a snow globe
Spit on me till it’s tainted
with your past and my bruises
and racing down the railroad tracks
to nothing
My heavy shoulders sing with sorrow
and hide with every sigh
under blooming battle scars from the wicked game
Bruises I used to brag about
until I faced these storms and
I’m on the path back home
My heavy shoulders are weighted,
draped with all the liars in the world
that are smashed into dust and
woven into the blanket of your love
Now I’m on the path back home,
breathing out promises
Something pulls at the edges of my smile
and the words I wrote but left unsaid
watch from the end of the road
as I turn the corner
They see all that’s left of me,
your blanket tossed off my heavy shoulders,
those daggers of glass splattered with
blood disguised as stardust
and I’m gone with a pile of bruised mismatched memories,
a shriek of freedom,
a shatter that breaks the sky.
Freedom, you’re
The classic verses of Tagore, timeless lyrics.
Freedom, you’re
Kazi Nazrul a great man with thick mane, stirred up in the ecstasy of creation,
Freedom, you’re
The dazzling congregation at the Shahid Minar
Freedom, you’re
The procession of slogans and colours
Freedom, you’re
The smile on the farmer’s face in the land.
Freedom, you’re
The amusing swim of the pastoral girl in the pond during mid-day.
Freedom, you’re
The wiry muscles on an expert labourer’s sun-tanned arms.
Freedom, you’re
The twinkle in a freedom fighter’s eyes at the murky and isolated borders.
Freedom, you’re
The immaculate speech of a laudable learner beneath the silhouette of a banyan tree.
Freedom, you’re
The fiery conversation at the tea-shops and public gatherings.
Freedom, you’re
The thriving clout of the northwester at the horizon.
Freedom, you’re
The heart of the Meghna during rain
Freedom, you’re
The furry contact of the father’s prayer mat.
Freedom, you’re
The waves of the mother’s sari long-drawn-out in the patio.
Freedom, you’re
The tinge of henna on the sister’s malleable hand.
Freedom, you’re
A dazzling placard as the stars at the pal’s hand.
Freedom, you’re
The homemaker’s thick black locks turning untamed in the wind.
Freedom, you’re
The vibrant attire on a juvenile lad,
The playing of the rays on a lass’ sinuous cheeks.
Freedom, you’re
The abode amid a garden, the song at the cuckoo’s throat,
The peeping leaves of an antiquated banyan tree,
My notebook of poems, for penning verses as I feel like.
I used to cover the whole
world, but what I couldn’t see
was that my leash just went that
far, wrapped around your center of gravity
because you wanted me to
see everything I’d be missing
when you reeled me in like a
dog with a tucked tail
But you made me choose
and it tore me apart
Running to the edge of the earth in my
dreams, I’ll drown myself in aqua blue
and hope that choosing is
no more evil than your eyes,
the eyes that once held mine
like they were rare and needed and beautiful and I
should have known, I’m not
rare just a human who has to
make selfish decisions like this one,
but then again the aqua blue has
told me exactly what I need,
I want your sweet breath
and bare infinities and intense
perfection, but I need to be
free.
We both thought we were free.
But I was still living under the hanging tree
Negativity would breeze.
Hop into a grand pre
I cannot consider
Negativity inside.
Race around
Emotions Collide.
I tried. I won’t pick a side
You lied and I died inside
But you’re a gold digger.
A forty niner. I tried.
I won’t pick a side
You lied and I died inside
Say I need help
Got a huge whelp
Wrapped up in kelp
Drowning by the beach
Welp, there I go again
My air has been breached
Wasn’t properly teached.
My brother’s arm started to reach
California? Where I almost drowned
but I cant be downed. Living is what I preach
Just pray my body won’t be found
Knowing how things went down
Like a stone pillar
Looking up in terror
Not at all confusing
Open your mind.
Let me run around inside
Fuck a counselor.
Let me pick you up from the ground
I won’t sit you down
Cut the crap. You’ve been misused
Kid you’ve been abused.
She thought it would help
but it didn’t. Did it?
Take that rage in and spit it
Take the hit but don’t ever forget it
It just made me remember.
My sophomore year
Early November
My mom claimed she was the master
What is freedom? Such a disaster
I need a pastor. Or do I need to go faster
Breathing down my neck.
Like I’m a wall made of plaster
I need to bypass her.
Threatening me that he would beat me
if I didn’t have all A’s and B’s.
What if I don’t want to succeed?
Even more though
I wanted to believe
I wanted some food so I could feed
I was sixteen and I couldn’t play assassins creed
