The above links to the spoken word audio of this piece


 

When you're away
And I've so much to say
I count down each day
'til you're here

 

Oh please just come back
Everythin's thrown off track
None o' the others know how
To soothe me
(Soothe me)

 

I lie awake
Most evenings
Restless, annoyed and alone
My heart aches
Brain's seething
Why can't you just come home?

 

You're here for a bit
A few hours then you split
And I have to admit
It's bittersweet
Until the next we meet
Our memories play on repeat
While I miss you

This may eventually become a fully produced piece with music and background vocals (hence the parantentical "(soothe me)" not present in the audio file

SONG OF A VALENTINE

Life is full


Only when I live it with you.


Love is real


Only when I behold it in your eyes.


Wine intoxicates


Only when I taste it on your lips.


Fire becomes pleasure


Only when I touch it with you.


Cold begets fire


Only when you’re here with me:


When wafts of love begin to soar,


Whispering my endless love for you.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A message that accompanied a hand-made card made by me on St. Valentine's Day 1995 for a very special person dear to me during my days as a student in University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. She helped me bear a lot of the weight on my shoulders.

আমার যত কথা [জিয়া সংগীত - ‘Zia Sangeet’: Bangla Song]

আমার যত কথা,


মনের যত ব্যথা,


দেবো জানিয়ে তোমায়,


যদি ভালোবাসো আমায়।


 

মনের মানুষের খোঁজে,


চলেছি ছুটে আমি,


সুখ এলো মনের ভাঁজে,


এলে যবে জীবনে তুমি!


আমার যত কথা,


মনের যত ব্যথা,


দেবো জানিয়ে তোমায়,


যদি ভালোবাসো আমায়।


 

নাও কাছে টেনে,


চাই শুধু তাই,


দাও ঠাই তোমার মনে,


আর কোনও চাওয়া নাই,


আমার যত কথা,


মনের যত ব্যথা,


দেবো জানিয়ে তোমায়,


যদি ভালোবাসো আমায়।

Stand, just stand by me,


You are my one and only,


Nothing I am without you,


I am in love madly so!


 

Don’t ever leave my hand,


I will take you to the dreamland,


Only love and joy I will give,


In heaven we shall live,


Stand, just stand by me,


You are my one and only,


Nothing I am without you,


I am in love madly so!


 

If you ever leave me,


I will cry like a baby,


Fully broken will be my heart,


I can’t live being apart,


Stand, just stand by me,


You are my one and only,


Nothing I am without you,


I am in love madly so!
