The Vain

১৮ ই আগস্ট, ২০১৪ রাত ৮:৩৪

No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;

Am an attendant lord, one that will do

To swell a progress, start a scene or two,

Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,

Deferential, glad to be of use,

Politic, cautious, and meticulous;

Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;

At times, indeed, almost ridiculous—

Almost, at times, the Fool.

-Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock



You love to watch the night sky,

You always do, you enjoy the stars

You be amazed by the sparkling scars

You love to see them as a whole

The individuals never play a role

And I'm the gamma virginis in the corner

Among the set of stars that pass by



Couldn't find any reason of my existence

Till the night I saw you

Have been praising you as the goddess

Since then I've been loving you



I saw you and your friends,

They get along with you so easy

And you spread happiness, you stay so busy

Oh! what a beauty you posses

Every time, you leave me breathless

The creator blessed me that I never had a fall

To see you, I've been breaking the trends



Someday I might come down just to let you know

That someone is living to see you everyday

That someone watches when you sing, dance and play

Though these words have been said to you many times before

I won't just seat idle and watch, pray, explore...

And I know this might all go in vain

My every attempt will remain as a show



Thus my life cycle starts and ends as stars

And you remain the goddess of my dream

My surface become full of scars

I remain silent, years after years, with a desire to scream
