LOVE IS OUR SONG
Love as we know it is our song
The music fills our souls with life
It flows with each breath in perfect pitch
You come alive with each new verse
For me you gave up your solo
You sacrificed it for us as a single note
Your title became mine and mine yours
Burning in love forever is our anthem
Our memories are as many as the stars
We spend many nights in unison
Our love will be forever heard
Like a symphony that plays through the ages
And I hear it each time I look in your eyes.

Melody of the Soul
The melody of the soul has a sound,
Sublime vibrations that cannot be seen by the human eye
Music conveys lofty thoughts that touch other people's hearts.
I don't know the melody of my heart,
I write about God and I know that such topics are heard far and wide
When many people tell me that my words touched them,
Through the poem, through my words and the image of a smiling
Maya I know that I am fulfilling my goal.
The song sings for me and the whole world hears it.
It doesn't matter that I don't know the melody of my soul because
I am surrounded by people who love me
And send me hearts and huge bouquets of roses.
Maja Milojković was born in 1975 in Zaječar, Serbia. She is a person to whom from an early age, Leonardo da Vinci's statement "Painting is poetry that can be seen, and poetry is painting that can be heard" is circulating through the blood. That's why she started to use feathers and a brush and began to reveal the world and herself to them. As a poet, she is represented in numerous domestic and foreign literary newspapers, anthologies and electronic media, and some of her poems can be found on YouTube. Many of her poems have been translated into English, Hungarian, Bengali and Bulgarian due to the need of foreign readers. She is the recipient of many international awards. "Trees of Desire" is her second collection of poems in preparation, which is preceded by the book of poems "Moon Circle". She is a member of the International Society of Writers and Artists "Mountain Views" in Montenegro, and she also is a member of the Poetry club "Area Felix" in Serbia.
The world is created with the blend of love and beauty, sorrow and suffering, joy and defeat. We, the human beings are to live with the mixture of all the natural aspects of life within and outside the world. And music is such a type of art that reflects what we see and feel in and outside the surroundings. Again the experience in life is different from the different person of the world regarding its culture, society, geography and demand of likes and dislikes.
As a Banglalee I do have my own style of life that may have difference from the others regarding its choice of food, culture, speech, life style etc. But the feeling of joy and sorrow is the same all over the world. So, when the tune starts with its rhythm whether it is joy or sorrow it approaches the same to the whole world. There are so many songs in Bangladesh such as folk songs, modern songs, pop songs, etc.
Our English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley in his poem "To a Skylark" says, "Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought." Shelley is an optimistic poet. I feel the same but I do have more interest in the love tone of music or song. We would not like to extend our pain listening to the painful songs though many of us may have the desire to listen to such types of the music. But in this short living world I feel so excited to the music of love that makes us all living in touch of this love feeling and take us to move for living in a peaceful world.
One night many years ago when I was a student of honors class at Rajshahi, I had already gone to sleep in my room. Suddenly a sweet tone of music with a sweet voice of love reached my ear and it acted in my heart so fast and stimulated my brain. I felt so excited that I would like to listen again and again but it stopped. I became maddened for my love but no way. The whole night I passed with uneasiness and excitement that I cannot forget even now at the moment.

About Technology
In a world of wires, screens, and code,
Technology's path we boldly strode.
From the wheel's invention to the internet's birth,
It's reshaped our lives, for all its worth.
From smart phones small to satellites high,
Technology soars through the sky.
Bringing us closer, tearing down walls,
In this digital age, it enthralls.
But caution we must exercise as we progress,
For technology's power, we must assess.
With great innovation comes great responsibility,
To shape a future of endless possibility
So let us embrace this digital age,
With wisdom, compassion, and courage engage.
For in technology's heart, the future's key,
To build a world where all can be free.

Music
Music is an art,
It gives us emotional exult.
Music is the part and parcel in our life.
Which charmed our mind as reef.
It can expose our intention.
It also influences the deliberation.
Music is on of the beauty of nature,
We can enjoy it everywhere.
Nature's sound is one kinds of music.
The sound of birds mesmerizes us,
The sound of flowing river.
The quiet sound of trees,
The sound of the All wind-
All makes our mind flutter.
When I sing songs,
All the feelings of my mind
Slowly come out.
Singing and listening to music,
One of my hobbies.
When 1 listen to music,
I fell as if I entered a deep fantasty.
Whether it is believable or not
But, no lives without that.
Music removes our inferiority complex.
It brings peace to our mind.
The reality of life emerges through the music.

Wherever we look,
We see the variety of technology.
Technology is the best in the world now.
There is no end to it.
Computer is a popular technology.
There is no end to its expansion.
Life is tangent without technology.
This is why, life is better.
Where earlier agricultural technology was underdeveloped.
But today, it has improved greatly.
Technology is preventing us from wasting time.
Also increasing the importance of time.
The world is now at our fingertips.
Thanks to the mobile phone technology.
We are enjoying a bliss equivalent to heaven.
Basically, technology is our life now.

A Toy Snake
One day I was walking down the street. Looking ahead a bit, I saw a snake coming behind me. Where I went, the snake also went. I was going to my friend's house but it followed me. I didn't see the snake when I went to sleep at night and I thought it would not come again. But I woke up in the morning and saw the snake next to my bed. One day it didn't come with me anymore. I looked for the snake but could not find it. After two months the snake came again. In an accident that snake was ran over by a truck. Later I found out that the snake was a toy snake. The snake was exactly like a real snake. Everything is possible with the digital technology.

Technology has improved our lives for the better. People are able to live safely because of technology. Modern age is unimaginable without technology. Through technology we can all keep each other updated. Looking back to the past, it can be seen that ancient people used pigeons to send letters from one place to another to keep them in touch with each other. But in today's age, technology can send one's news within seconds through mobile phone or computer.
Previously, people couldn't have the facility of using the technology. But nowadays people can easily keep connected of different countries through technology because of mobile phone, other network and social communication. Today, the entire world has come to the hands of people, thanks to technology. In our country earlier people used to harvest paddy by hand with great difficulty, but in the present era, farmers are able to thresh rise in the field very easily with the help technology - rice threshing machines. As a result the farmers do not suffer much.
People of the world have been able to live comfortably due to modern devices; it is possible because of technology. Earlier people used to take a lot of time to go from one place to another. But now through technology people can easily move from one place to another place. So, there are many positive aspects of technology but it also has some negative aspects too. Its abuse can cause a lot of damage to the world. Technology is used in all crimes including, terrorism, murder, drug dealing etc. After all, if technology is used on beneficial way, our world will see a bright future one day..
