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.

A Trip

Life is a trip

Not to spend in a certain place

Life is a journey

Not to be suffocated in this same way

Life is an experience

Automatically with the time collected

As the water absorbed by the sun in the fields

In the different places of the earth

Like the meteors in the sky

This journey never stops

And a production of many things

With the wheels moving of the machines

Varieties of tastes – pungent, sweet and sour

Make our hearts rising and falling

In a stormy and moderate weather

Ah! A trip is my dream to reach you my goal

I feel my love in my body and soul

Flying from the known to the unknown world

Moulds our thoughts so high in the starry air.
