Analysis of Enveloped in Despair, Pain Descends

Nurul Hoque 1965 (Comilla)



It pains thinking about you nowadays.
Often I float in the lava of pain
The pain of not seeing you
Drives me away continuously
Whirl I amidst current of despair
I slump in dejection time and again
Sometimes I break the bubble and move forward
Sometimes I embrace pain
Like my twin soul
Near to my heart
Your indestructible memories surface in my pain
I visualise you initiating a chat
I seek relief subduing my impulse

Sometimes it hurts a lot.
I float away in the lava of pain
While floating silently I witness
The pain flies in the air
In home’s doorway, in the
Open field in green courtyard
With a bag pack in faraway jungles
How ruthlessly the pain plays with me
At Beutha Ghat in the dark

Night descends in Kaliganga, night floats with the water
Smeared with pain
The forlorn night
Descends in this hapless soul.
