Barbed Wire

Akash Mamon

Not only once, twice, thrice many times love burnt
Boyhood love, immature love, matured love
Love has a lifetime like life
Love finds an end like life
New flood comes
Still feels a haul somewhere;
Suddenly the life-bell rings in a haul
A love-lost man can only realize the torment of a homeless man
Like a homeless migratory bird due to the fury of winter
The bird goes back to its home-thousand miles away
There is an impermeable barbed wire wall in the broken heart
The smell of thousands of old flowers come to the far land
By crossing border; gathers thousands of memories in the name of ancestor
The maverick mind comes back after getting pawned to a unseen heavy wall
The sentinel’s rifle points to the chest in nightmare

[Akash Mamon is a poet from Bangladesh.]
