Poetry from Mahbub Alam

Middle aged South Asian man with reading glasses, short dark hair, and an orange and green and white collared shirt. He's standing in front of a lake with bushes and grass in the background.

Winter Love 

Winter comes though late comer
I feel you so much, dear winter
After a long hot weather
We welcome you with so many new elements of enjoyment
Including items of foods, cloths and soft touch of loving hand
Sleeping with quilt facing with you
Feeling warm love in secret my heart blazes
In the morning the world is covered with the mist and fog
While nothing is more suitable than my date's cold juice
And the verities of pithas and pa-es
I love you winter so much
Love you because the new flowers in the trees will bloom soon 
I love you too much you brought me too close to my loving heart.

The Spring Year-2024

To the beginning of the year -2024
What I say? What I say I do not know.
But like to say much though I can't express 
Within this circumstances of the enclosed room
My heart smiles on over the new tune of love
And fraternity in a harmonious world
That makes us happy with all our aims and activity
We can walk freely day and night
Without any dubitation of fire fighting or anxiety
All the flowers in the garden may bloom from here to the last space of the earth 
The Spring Year -2024
I love you, welcome you 
Hope for the replacement of sorrows and suffering 
Into the glittering light of humanity.
