My Best Friend

My Best Friend
It is a bond that is not said,
It's in my heart, my soul, my head,
It could never be defined,
there are no words that could explain.
I simply know because I do,
You understand because you're you.
We've not a friendship nor a...

CRUSHED

Crushed, the sickening sound
Like squashed melon on hard ground
Under an elephant’s foot, halted traffic;
Heads turned to the ghastly graphics:
Eruption of volcanoes of brain
Matter, blood gushed from
Human skulls under a train’s
Wheels. Two...

The attic.

The attic.

There was an attic
on the roof top of our next house.
In my childhood days,I thought it was haunted,
and made me little bit maniac.

There was a big palm tree
very close to that attic.
When the leaves were moved,
it seemed to...

Is halfway forever?

You’re gonna be ok, you’re gonna live for many more years I’m told, but I just can’t see myself growing old.
I close my eyes and try hard to imagine it, but I just can’t see it not one little bit.
When I was a child I always saw myself growing...

Alter Ego

Alter Ego
By Arman Hoque

I took a step on a path, on which I firmly stood.
I realized I’d been standing, plainly
Misunderstood.
The world had been moving all around me,
Suddenly past, present, and future had found me.

I collected my...

A Priori Blues

Living alone
in quantum space
vibrations
dually churn

Hiding behind
a simple rhyme
their essence
undiscerned

Turned into words
exposed at last
where time and
memory join

Feigning the praise
for something they’re not
disparaged

Losing someone

In quiet moments, grief takes flight.
Aching heart, missing your light.
Though you're gone, love's echo stays.
In memories of sun-kissed days.

Soft whispers carried on the breeze,
Your laughter dancing through the trees.
Though tears may...

Memory

Someone once asked me, “why do you look down all the time?”

I replied, “I feel as though I am not worthy to look straight ahead of me.”

“Instead of looking down or straight in front of you, why don’t you look up?” They spoke.

As I did,
The...

Crazy Man”

This crazy man was running around
It was very funny and weird
Something crazy must have happened abound
This crazy man was running around
He just ran and did not make a sound
He even has a long beard
This crazy man was running around
It was...

The hardest time

But it is
Stopping soon

The greatest time to live”

The greatest things sometimes come slow
Like a turtle
Or fast like a plane

But one thing is for certain
There will always be good times
That feel like eating ice cream
That feel like
Stubbing your toe

Good times and bad times
Are like a...

The passing of my dog”

All good things come to a end
I do not know what's to come around the bend
But i do know that i need to stay high
Because if I stoop low, the tie
Of life will fall apart, and break
Sometimes at the end of the day, you need to make
A decision,...

Weird Law”

This is truly amazing
What has this become
Its so special truly
The greatest thing ever

What has this become?
A new rule or a saying or
What a law? Who knows

Its so special truly that
No one can figure it out
So what is to make of it
