Peak Unsummited

Excellence unattained,

Excuses, excuses,

Lower the bar,

Lower the bar again.

When finally jump over

The lowered bar,

Peak unsummited

Looks down.

Sunk in self pity,

Rising frustration,

Life miserable.

Better to fail trying

Then daily dose of death.

One can con the world,

But lying to self?

Need to live

In a world

Without mirrors.

Perfection mirage,

Pursuit praiseworthy.

TLT: Ephemeral Satisfaction a Lie

It’s neither a smoke screen nor a mirage, ephemeral satisfaction a lie
The pain is so real that after long years it still hurts, bleeding silently
One who was taken away untimely, dreams going up in smoke, never said good bye

Three Lines Tale – Week Forty

Self a mirage

Turmoil deep down

Dark clouds lurking

Serene facade hiding

Long sinewy fingers of

Peace Elusive

My second attempt at English Ghazal with Assamese Translation .

PEACE ELUSIVE

What I seek I never get,peace elusive
As I seek,further it is,peace elusive

Thought peace was drowning in your eyes
Mirage it was, absent bliss, peace elusive

Heart wounded bears the emotional scars
Lonely heart Silently weeps, peace elusive

Reaching for love shackled by fear of rejection
Judge me not wrong please, peace elusive

Till end of time will always wait for thee
How deeply you I do miss, Peace elusive

যি বিছাৰি খাওঁ হাবাথুৰি নাপাওঁ কাহানিও, শান্তি দুদিনীয়া
যিমানেই বিছাৰো সিমানেই দুৰৈত, তথাপিও শান্তি দুদিনীয়া

তোমাৰ চকুৰ গভীৰতাত ডুবিছিলো শান্তি বিচাৰি
বৃথা প্ৰেমৰ মৰিচিকাত নুবুজিলো শান্তি দুদিনীয়া

ক্লান্ত হৃদয় ক্ষতবিক্ষত শান্তিৰ সন্ধানত
নুবুজে নিৰৱে উচুপা হৃদয়েও শান্তি দুদিনীয়া

এখোজ আগুৱাই থমকি ৰওঁ প্ৰত্যাখ্যানৰ আশংকাত
নুবুজিবা তুমি ভুল মোক কাহানিও, শান্তি দুদিনীয়া

অনন্ত সময়ৰ সীমাৰ সিপাৰে তোমাৰ অপেক্ষাত
হৃদয়ত লৈ তোমাৰ প্ৰতিচ্ছবি, জানিও শান্তি দুদিনীয়া
