Lamp of Love

By Dr. Sirajul Hoque

Lamp of Love' is a collection of modern English poems dealing with the stern realites as well as direly sombre aspects of life that focus on how man suffers on account of hostile fate and its workings on love in the course of reaching a destination through inscrutable predicaments contrived by despair, disease and death. These collected poems conjure up a real world of melancholy that commands sympathy .The poems virtually celebrate macabre situations by means of philosophical ideas that are related to passions of life weaving a cobweb in a psychosocial domain. My poems generally represent my personal ideology as they overshadow my concepts of pessimism and realism that make a mark on my poetic creativity.

Lamp Of Love

The lamp dimly burns

To dispel gloom of night,

When meteors fall down

Like dry leaves in a wood.

The lamp dimly burns

In a desolate farmhouse,

Where dream disperses

Like the mist of morning.

Love

Once I hear you sing _

Life's a chimera in earth,

Let's love each other well

When we feel aloneness.

Once I hear you sing _

Let's enjoy all pleasures,

To merge hearts into one

And soar away to heaven.

Love

I throw open all my arms

In a fit of passionate love,

To embrace warm breasts

When my beloved blushes.

I stand erect to kiss cheeks

And wait for warmth of love,

To connect me with heaven

When life turns into eternity.

Lamps

We can see no darkness

When the day gaily breaks,

And dews gleam on grass

Like little lamps of hopes.

We can see no darkness

When the sun gaily shines,

And buds bloom in bower

Like bright lamps of love.

Love

Love seems a strange game

That continues till a sundown,

When I stumble on phylloclade

Of cactus in the dreary desert.

Love seems a unique passion

That makes a soul fall asunder,

When a heart burns with flames

Like a candle till the night ends.

Heart

My heart breaks with gloom

As the night darkens in winter,

The door is kept ajar for long

When I lie alone for a dream.

My heart is merged with hers

Though she lies away from me,

And I feel warmths of her love

As long as I lie awake in bed.

Dream

I dream of you every night

As I strive to win your heart,

So my soul soars to heaven

When you pine for my love.

I dream of you every night

And build a castle in the air,

To live in the land of Utopia

Where love will never fade.

Love

Love's like an angel

With a pure passion,

That sanctifies souls

With celestial peace.

Oh! It's a perfect love

That hallows a heart.

Love's like an infant

With a true innocence,

That makes mind free

To a substantial extent.

Oh! It's a pure passion

That blesses a heart.

Castle

A castle of love I build

Beside the lonely shore,

To see how breeze blows

In sea-scented solitude.

A castle of love I build

Before the busy harbour,

Where lost ships sail back

With cargo-laden prows.

Appeal

Let me tell you more

Than what I feel in love,

It's but a kind of delirium

When I suffer from fever.

Let me tell you again

About the secret of love,

That wipes out all tears

When a heart falls apart.

Love

Some say: Love's a whirlpool

Ready to blow off bond of trust,

While sailing across a vast sea

Through the dark frost of night.

Some say: Love's but a pitfall

Ready to take one inside deep,

If not forewarned for crossing

Through stark ignorance of life.

Bard

I know the language of love

And so I like to write poems,

With all fretful fits of passion

Like a prolific bard of heaven.

I inscribe one's name in heart

With a quill of a blessed bard,

As the earth moves in its orbit

Like the top in a child's hands.

Askings

If you once ask me_

Why do you love so well?

I shall answer point blank:

True love conquers all.

If you again ask me_

Why do you love so much?

I shall try to open my heart

Like a bud to a butterfly.

Love

I wish our love might last

Till the sun will be shining,

And snow will be freezing

On white mountain peaks.

I wish our love might soar

From our hearts to heaven,

Never to perish like phoenix

Till we carry on divine love.

Couple

We're far from the crowds

As a fair couple in the dark,

Nobody can throw us aloof

God made us for each other.

We look altogether as one

As long as we've a true love,

None can separate a couple

While lying in the haze of life.

Forget

If you never forget me

Like a foe that's sworn,

To dry up tears of love

I'll change my passions.

If you never forget me

Like a lover that's lost,

In the dark of oblivions

I'll revive my memories.

Love

O Sweet love!

You weave dreams,

In my broken heart

To perpetuate peace.

O Sweet love!

You build a castle,

In the blue heaven

Like a winged fairy.

Silence

I'm surprised at silence

Of landscape at noonday,

That provides a nap for rest

To remove lassitude of love.

I'm surprised at silence

Of skyscape at midnight,

That provokes love in heart

To forget melancholy of life.

Love

Once I hear you sing _

Life's ephemeral in earth,

Let's love each other well

When we feel loneliness.

Once I hear you sing _

Love's but a divine spirit,

It merges hearts together

To soar about in paradise.

Beloved

O My dear beloved!

Come to my heavy heart,

With all passions of love

That I can find pleasure.

O My dear beloved!

Come to my weary soul,

With all warmths of lust

That I can dive in peace.

Twin

Once I met the twin siblings

One was a lass named Mary,

And another a lad called John

They grew up as two orphans.

Again I saw the forlorn twins

Play near the parents’graves,

In love to take the dead alive

While they were on hopscotch.

Swallow

O My dear swallow!

Let me know your home,

From where you hail flying

To invite summer alone.

O My dear swallow!

Let me know your haven,

From where you call clouds

To chant anthems of love.

Jackdaw

O My dearest jackdaw!

You're a harbinger of day,

I hear you herald a dawn

Before the sun awakes.

O My dearest jackdaw!

You're a precursor of love,

I see you fluttering wings

Before the sun scorches.

Lovers

All lovers are numskulls

That desire to suck honey,

Like the drones in the dark

To seek heaven in dreams.

All lovers are drunkards

That long for casks of
