Aminur Rahman, Bangladesh, 1966
Love and Other Poems
Love : 1
A lot of difficulty
everything seems aimless
Just
a waste of time.
Without understanding
without giving
my heart is stiff
even though, all is clear.
Love : 2
With eyes closed
I make a diamond-choice
My heart is blissful
Though everything is lost
Love : 3
You love me quietly,
why then the abruptness
in you?
I am a lowly poet,
a picture without colour
lifeless.
Love: 4
with
nightmares the
one days
can pass
live memories
reasonably. fail to
last.
