As most of you know me, I am a pretty big snob. And I alawys used to look down upon Bangla Rock and the Bangla Band culture. The only Bangla Band that I used to listen to regularly was Mohiner Ghoraguli. And honestly I was never a big fan of Rupam Islam. But a few days back, one of his songs changed a lot. Don't get me wrong, I am still not a fan of Rupam Islam. But this song is different. And I would like to thank you Rupam Da for this song.

Your Feet
When I cannot look at your face
I look at your feet.
Your feet of arched bone,
Your hard little feet.
I know that they support you,
And that your sweet weight
Rises upon them.
Your waist and your breasts,
The doubled purple
Of your nipples,
The sockets of your eyes
That have just flown away,
Your wide fruit mouth,
Your red tresses,
My little tower.
But I love your feet
Only because they walked
Upon the earth and upon
The wind and upon the waters,
Until they found me.
~ Pablo Neruda

Muse V
Call me nymphomaniac
Call me obsessive woman
Call me neurotic
Call me a fool
Call me anything
But I must have my lover
At night when I lay
In my bed
My skin against the sheets
My lover plays with my head
He tells me all kind of stories
Keeping me awake
No matter which way
I turn
My lover's hands are there
To enfold me
But it's his voice that
Ignites my desire
His constant whisper
And fantastic tales
That stir the small hairs
On my body
Causing me to run my tongue
Over my lips
And shiver
From the magic
Of his words

What is a Poem?
I Can't Make You Love Me
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

True Love
We still need to learn what true love is from the animal. Below are photos of two birds said to have been pictured in the Republic of Ukraine. Millions of people cry after watching these pictures in America and Europe. It is said that the photographer sold these pictures for a nominal price to the most famous news paper in France. And all the copies of that news paper were sold out on the day of publishing these pictures.
Here his wife is injured and the condition is very appalling.
Here he brings her food and attend her with love and compassion.
Brings her food but shocked with her death and try to move her.
He is aware that his sweetheart is dead and will not come to him again he cries with adoring love.
Stand beside her and scream saddened of her death.
Finally aware that she would not return to him and she departed him, stand beside her
body with grief and sorrow.
And we don't understand how it feels to have lost our loved ones. How it feels when our loved ones leave us, crying in the middle of the road. We still need a lot to learn from the animals.

I want to Live with You R
On May 1, 1947, Evelyn McHale leapt to her death from the observation deck of the Empire State Building. Photographer Robert Wiles took a photo of McHale a few minutes after her death. On May Day, just after leaving her fiancé, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale wrote a note. "He is much better off without me ... I wouldn't make a good wife for anybody". Then she crossed it out. She went to the observation platform of the Empire State Building. Through the mist she gazed at the street, 86 floors below. Then she jumped. In her desperate determination she leaped clear of the setbacks and hit a United Nations limousine parked at the curb.
R, I want live a happy married life with you. Please don't leave me alone.
I want to Bathe with You in the Sea
Truely Madly Deeply
[by Savage Garden]
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do.
I will be strong I will be faithful
'Cos I'm counting on a new beginning.
A reason for living.
A deeper meaning.
I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me.
And when the stars are shining brightly
In the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish
Send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry.
The tears of joy
For all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded
By the comfort and protection of.
The highest power.
In lonely hours.
The tears devour you.
I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me.
Oh can't you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cos it's standing right before you.
All that you need will surely come.
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do.
Dare to Fall in Love with Me
"I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you"
-- "Hello", Lionel Richie
I have Dreamed of You So Much
[Written by Robert Desnos]
I have dreamed of you so much that you are no longer real.
Is there still time for me to reach your breathing body, to kiss your mouth and make
your dear voice come alive again?
I have dreamed of you so much that my arms, grown used to being crossed on my
chest as I hugged your shadow, would perhaps not bend to the shape of your body.
For faced with the real form of what has haunted me and governed me for so many
days and years, I would surely become a shadow.
O scales of feeling.
I have dreamed of you so much that surely there is no more time for me to wake up.
I sleep on my feet prey to all the forms of life and love, and you, the only one who
counts for me today, I can no more touch your face and lips than touch the lips and
face of some passerby.
I have dreamed of you so much, have walked so much, talked so much, slept so much
with your phantom, that perhaps the only thing left for me is to become a phantom
among phantoms, a shadow a hundred times more shadow than the shadow the
moves and goes on moving, brightly, over the sundial of your life.

I Want To Wake Up With You Beside Me!
I would wish to wake up everyday
To the sound of your breath on my neck,
The warmth of your lips on my cheek,
The touch of your fingers on my skin,
And the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I would never find that feeling
With anyone other than you.

My Favorite Song
Iris
From the movie The City of Angels
Performed by Goo Goo Dolls
And I´d give up forever to touch you
´Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You´re the closest to heaven that I´ll ever be
And I don´t wanna go home right now
And all I can taste in this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it´s over
I just don´t wanna miss you tonight
And I don´t want the world to see me
´Cause I don´t think that they´d understand
When everything´s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can´t fight the tears that ain´t coming
Or the moments of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you´re alive.
