P O E M S by Malequl Hoque

Malequl Hoque, a poet of spiritual and earthly blend, grew up in a remote hamlet, Moinpur of Chattak, Sunamgonj, Bangladesh. Most of his poetic work is marked by a widening embrace of mystic energy; his lover Eve is ever present, his friends are never ‘no more’; his refined poems blend time with space in a magnetism of its own. Hoque edits Gondhom (The forbidden fruit). He is the author of - Samudragonika O HawarBanshi (2008), Binoyguccho (2008), Dibbunmad Ayna (2017), and Tosbi O Roktobindu (2017), Divine Cross Beneath The Gloomy Evening (2015), Echo The Pillars Of Nothingness (2015).

Cluster of Sound-flower

1

Presence or

Existence is the cause

Of all transitions

2

Suddenly it seems

A familiar illusion

Flowing on the light

3

Love is internal

It brings out everything

And displays trees alone

4

Inward love

Blooms outside pain

Befalls inside the heart

5

The desire to touch

Flowers collect sorrow

For the heart

6

A sun hides its face

Behind the mist

Again and again

7

The fall of letters

Bring solitude to

The human heart

8

The flowers in the garden

Fall out of innocence

Bloom in innocence too

9

The lost flower

Blooms on the walls

Of existence

10

The heart is green grass

Valuable to grasshoppers

Void in wonderment

11

Sorrows are black stones

Turtle lamp

Glows on the water

12

Scary flies

Outnumbered us and settled

In a split moment

13

The smiles of mist

Is echoed upon

The harvest

14

I am alone on this side

My shadow cries

On the other

15

This body is a mere harvest

Tingled by the swaying

Wind

16

Memories are life

Self-demise

Is what occurs within neurons?

17

Sorrows are a myth

The listener holds

Equal share of the burden

18

Fruitless peeping

Into fruit-grounds

Casts monsoon in spring
