EXISTENCE
SHARMIN AKTAR
You appear
In the rhythm of tune;
Remove thirst of soul.
In jingling anklet of little girl;
Rhetoric’s sounds
Assert real love.
In the dish of slum beggar;
Kindly offer
Take to charity.
At rice field beside village;
Greenish movement
Thrill with passion.
At pray ground of silent night;
Your invisible presence
Assure my gratitude.

FUNDAMENTAL NEED
SHARMIN AKTAR
A handful rice,
Collect from the community;
Orphan, beggar hungry.
A cloth existent lengthwise
Weave at ancient loom;
Young girl half nude.
A small sacred place
Leave the society;
Trusted forehead bow safely.
A vial of medicine,
Make in ayurvedic pharmacy ;
Helpless about to die.
A teaching of goodness,
Present to the world;
All in fine rascality.

WHAT IS SORROW ?
SHARMIN AKTAR
I asked a poet,
“What is sorrow ?’
He answered me;
Sorrow means –
Inability to express
The feelings, impulse
In the form of poem.
Asked a millionaire also,
‘What is sorrow ?’
He informed me
Sorrow means –
Dispossessing of
Decorative giant house
From glorious city .
I told a scientist,
‘What is sorrow?’
He said to me
Giving dry laugh;
No discovery of things,
About to invent .
I asked a day laborer,
‘What is sorrow ?’
He informed me
With tearful eyes;
Not getting a handful rice
After hard working
On day long.
