Poetry: Memory

 Poet: Jotsna Jari

 .

 This is the day of noise 

 How to become silent

 Told all the stories

 By row of mango banyan fig tree 

 . 

 Bakul flowers on the edge of pond

 How jump into the water

 Playing with ducks

 Three-headed grandma  

 Shows that too…  

.

 Haven’t come to them for a long time 

 So much talk    

 I have & they also  

 Alpath in our paddy fields

 The grass lying on that road

 Just like me  looking for a way 

 .

 Our open playground

 Where laid down 

 to write  AkashKusum story 

 How many times just call me 

 I call too. 

. 

[ N.B- 

1. Bakul flower is Bengali nice flower. 

2. Grandma is Grand Mother. 

3. Alpath is little way between  

    two Paddy fields.  

    It’s also boundary line. 

4. AkashKusum is Bengali proverb. 

     It means illusion/fantasy.  ]

Poetry : Homeless Happiness 

Poet : Jotsna Jari 

.

mujhe intejar thi                                          

tum ao gi                                                    

mera pash                                                      

bagiya  ki ful khelte rahe                             

tu mera sath chahe                                      

asman jami se aur                                    

ek desh rahe                                                    

jis se tu aur main                                        

chalte rauhu                                                  

barshaat ki chhatriya tu                      

main  tera fagun ki mas                                

tu aa,  aa mera paash. 

.

There is no color of crying

 Although with your pain 

 More across the blue color 

 Someone dancing… 

 .

 Who knows   the old banyan basket   

 speaking of any civilization. 

 Becoming a migratory bird 

 Homeless happiness is far away 

 In an unknown country

 Will tie house 

 Bed pillow…

. 

[ N.B- 

1. First Paragraph is a shyeri(lyric). 

    The meaning is….  

” I am waiting for you

 Come on

 My side

 Flowers of garden continue to play

 You want me 

 Beside the heaven & Earth 

 There is another country 

 Where we travel 

 You are my rain-umbrella 

 I am your Fagun month 

 Come, come to me.” 

2. Fagun is Bengali month. 

    Fagun is Spring . ]

Poetry – Duet
Poet – Jotsna Jari

.
That blue river
Don’t go near
Gradually becoming blue
Will turn white.
My blood rose
That way   on changing day
Don’t change that color
Keep secrets alone
Whatever is mine
Then hide and seek play
Light and shadow
Will accept
In the tear of virtuous lady
Will be swept away
Something unheard of
Melody of the song …

Poetry :  Upside Down
Poet : Jotsna Jari

.
If the rhymes are ‘Bara’
‘Chap’ get wings
If someone ate   would fly away
The lid could be opened.

.
Very tasty ‘Televaja’
Have you eaten
No no  don’t eat
Will become bumblebees.

.
Singing humming
Dancing flower to flower
After Mom crying  Just
Floating in salty tear.

.
If  have heartburn
Give the blanket
Come back to Digha Puri
If  have the resorces.

.
[ N.B-

1. ‘Bara’, ‘Chap’ , ‘Televaja’-
   Oily snacks foods in Bengal.
2. Digha – Indian Sea beach
   Puri-  other sea beach.
   Puri is ancient & mythical city & famous for Puri Shrines.
3. Mom is Mother. ]

Poetry – Inside the Chest

Poet – Jotsna Jari

 .

 mera payer jab aye 

 khoda(Allah) ki prem barsaye 

 may keya karu 

 dil ghabraye 

 prem barsaye.

 .

 Fountain of tears inside chest

 Just like the Falgu River

 The top is just sand and sand

 The water is lying down …

 .

 In cute moon night

 When the birds fall asleep

 One or two stars fell away 

 Hearing the sound

 Standing face to face

 The days left behind 

 .

[ N.B :-

 1. 

“mera payer jab aye 

 khoda (Allah) ki prem barsaye 

 may keya karu 

 dil ghabraye 

 prem barsaye . “

– This shyeri means :- 

 When my love comes

 Just then the rain of God’s love comes

 What will I do?

 My mind is now perplexed

 It’s raining love all around. 

2. 

Falgu is simply the mythical name 

of an Indian River.

This river has only sand.
If you dig up some sand,
You will receive water.  ]

Poetry – Love

 Poet – Jotsna Jari

 .

 Restless mind turns around

 Loves 

 Comes closer

 Sitting next to me 

 Is its name love 

 Tell someone … 

 .

 On the green carpet

 In poetry without happiness 

 Whom the mind wants to get

 Is equal to Asare-Galpo

 Is its name love 

 still don’t know

 .

 Floats in the flow of time

 How many canvases

 How many pictures are drawn

 Something remains 

 Just stay with 

 Is its name love 

 Tell someone.  

. 

[ N.B- Asare-Galpo means 

         Unrealistic fiction. 

         It’s from Bengali language. ]

Poetry: Passage

 Poet: Jotsna Jari

 .

 In the salty water of pain

 From being small

 has become a point. 

 .

 Don’t look for me anywhere

 Within me  the seven Heavens 

 Equal to Earth can enter 

 .

 I’m on the way to noise

 Never walked …

 Life floating in Benozal 

 Who knows why so much

 It hurts …

 .

 How much was demanded

 Don’t know anything so …

 Infinitely very cold 

 Freezing dream

 Know  there will be fountain. 

. 

[ N.B- Benojal means Flooded water. 

         It’s Bengali Language. ]

Poetry – Stinging 

 Poet – Jotsna Jari 

 .

 How the mind is in dawn 

 I call you

 It’s evening  yet now 

 It’s not time …

 .

 Still spend the morning 

 Can’t spend the afternoon

 Sleep will escape at night 

 Go to bed as much as you can.

 .

 What do you mean 

 you understand

 There are tears in eyes

 Needle in the chest.

Poetry :  Careless

Poet :  Jotsna Jari 

. 

Near to one of the unseen world

 Just a ledger  

In the heat of living sun 

To be frustrated  

To find a way… 

. 

Throwing a couple of leaves  the tree  

How easy it is to laugh  

Feathers of the bird fall off 

Yet fly away…   

. 

Even the river in rainy season  

Sings humming song like a teenager 

Walking around with ducklings 

. 

Lifelong 

Carefree mind 

At end of the noise 

 Just sleeps in dream 

Kissing the lips.

🐦

Poetry : Boundless mind

Poet : Jotsna Jari 

. 

Everything of the world to one side

 Just stay to this side by side known path 

Every word in world was not heard 

Just hear the silence of sky 

Which way to move move  

Which pain to get get 

When stand once  

Remember that familiar face  

That’s way that’s night 

Our face to face  

How much to talk about 

All that days  

. 

What a bored sky yet  

Clouds just float away 

Flower buds are so silent  

Bloom all night long  

Go as far as you can 

Stay closer you are  

Give as much pain as you can  

Hold hands 

. 

Said…  at the end of flowering 

The garland will be tied 

Two houses of two will be tied 

The flowers are blooming 

The garland was tied 

From House to house     

Let’s find out the house 

. 

Here & there  I will stand where 

Just pictures of pain and frustration   

Becomes one in the fog 

That’s all about the flowers  

I never told you 

News of all those pains 

Know  you won’t get it
