People consider it stupid

When I say that the house talks to me

My old house now abandoned

Comes to my recurring dream

And says

Look! How ugly your blue bedroom has been turned into;

Sometimes, I view my fully bloomed garden

And, next time I see the weeds growing wilder and taller

But no flowers at the sight!

The house was in Old Baneswore,

Now turned to a commercial hostel

I haven’t visited it even once after I left

But almost every night

I view the abandoned house

In which the ants and mice

Are playing their roles

Is the kitchen at the second floor

Still exists in its old form 

Or it’s been already transformed into

One more bedroom?

The commotion, the laughter of family

No more exists there!!


Oh! My deserted house

I had to leave you in a hue and cry,

And now, the nostalgia remains so due and dry

I will cry, cry, cry

If you stopped

 to show me up 

In those recurring dreams of pry!!!
