How I kill Infatuation


 The love that I kill, 

Slowly poison by,

The infatuation that I strangle with my own hands, slowly and gradually, one by one. 

I am an emotional serial killer.

I kill emotions. 

I am an emotional serial killer, 

I murder infatuations. 

Oh, I feel guilty. 

Guilty and regretful as hell.

I live in hellish fire and come out as fierce flame that puts them all ablaze. 

I kill them all. 

I kill their emotions- one by one, 

I am a slayer of their pure innocence. 

Innocently, they approach me, 

They think I am vast, easy and flowy as ocean.

But, I am a conflicting conundrum, 

A silent paradox in motion. 

I kill their emotions. 

A slayer of hearts.

I ruin all the goods in them. 

I destroy what could be amicable, 

Beautiful and light. 

What could bring delight. 

I kill all the emotions. 

I am a serial emotional killer, 

Someone arrest me. 

I should rot in the emotional bars as I do always! 

Never any different, always the same.

Nevermore or never less, 

I am confined in my own hell. 

The emotional inferno that I reign, 

The emotional chaos that I run from and yet abide by! 

I am a serial emotional killer.

I kill and subdue all the emotions. 

I am an emotional wreck.

I should not look backwards, 

I kill all the beautiful things-

Yet to occur,

I kill all the light,

I am a monster. 

I have become the monster from which I am running from. 

I have become a monster, 

The monster that you have created.

A monster is always born from another monster.

I have dealt with the monsters- the inner and outer,

They all collide in me,

As I have become one.

I am the monster risen from the dark.

I kill the light.

  কবি ফারহিন আক্তার ভূঁইয়া ন্যান্সি জন্মেছেন মরুভূমির দেশ আমিরাতের ফুজেরার দিব্বা শহরে। বাবা ফজলুল হক ভূঁইয়ার চাকুরি সূত্রে দুবাইতে অবস্থান করেছেন অর্ধেক জীবন। ফারহিন ন্যান্সি , দেশে এসে পড়াশুনা করছেন বর্তমানে , ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের সমাজবিজ্ঞান বিভাগের স্নাতকোত্তর পর্যায়ে। ছোটবেলা থেকে লেখালেখির সাথে সম্পৃক্ত কবির বেশ কয়টি লেখা কবিতা প্রকাশিত হয়েছে বিভিন্ন পত্র - পত্রিকা , লিটয় ম্যাগাজিনগুলো এবং সংকলনে। ইউএসএইড ২০১৯ - এ সেরা পঞ্চাশ গল্পরচিয়তার মধ্যে স্থান পেয়েছেন। এছাড়াও , বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের সাহিত্য সাময়িকীসহ , ব্লগে নিয়মিত লেখেন। বাংলা - কবিতা ডটকমে বেশ সরব ছিলেন। দেশ্মাতৃকাকে ভালোবেসে , দেশ ও মাটির মানুষের জন্যে উনি গভীর অন্তর্দৃষ্টি দিয়ে দর্শনসমৃদ্ধ কবিতা রচয়ন করেন। মানুষের মুক্তি ও উত্তরণ তার লেখালেখির উদ্দেশ্য।                   শিল্পীর মৃত্যু                   ...

Ache in my body

Image
  My lips ache as if they want to be bitten  and smitten in your love and admiration. My hips swirl in ache as if they want to twirl  around you, dance in motion. My heart is in ache as if it doesn't know where   it belongs, to whom, My eyes are in pain, they are numb and sore. They say your eyes are beautiful like droplets of dews, Like diamonds in the sky. But, only a few knows how much tears it shed, Shed like an ocean. I have cried in pain like a destitute losing all her belongings, I have cried in pain like a beggar begging for an alms of love and warmth. I have cried like a Jew, a refugee Muslim for a bit of shelter in a foreign land, I have cried like a blind person for a bit of compassion and an ounce of aid. I have cried and whimpered in pain like an impaired person for quick recovery, I have cried like an infant hungry for love and needing to cling to somebody. I have cried an ocean for my lost ones whom I loved dearly, I have cried in agony, realizing...

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

 Men's and Women's worlds are different, And, it will remain different. Yet, men and women combine their journey  to integrate something more beautiful, Either converge and build something unique, Or, infuse more difference and indifference. Men are from Mars, The warriors who are always engaged in war zones, Survival and responsibilities,  With other brothers fighting for life and for good, Women are from Venus, Their perspectives are different than their divine counterparts, Women have a larger than life emotional inner world, Where they are content with few people in their lives, They take pride in— Quality over quantity.  They count on blessings over benefits. Their inner circle is rich in bonding and metaphors. Not superficial, not profit-based,  Their identity is emulsified and solidified by  the deep surface they dive into, Whereas men thrive outwardly, Their outer world is rich with the combination  of deep bonds and superficial connections, Th...
