Illuminated Poet Aleya Chowdhury


Illuminated Aleya 

Who creates an artistic image 

that takes on a poetic dimension

She knew how to perceive the material os senses;

And the method of accepting it, in reality. 

 

She is a tough woman, a fighter

She knew love was a love game,

Yet secretly she cut the side

to be wet with heavy rain. 

In the spark of rage, in the awakening of consciousness,

Infinite lightning that conveyed the message to the deaf ear;

Aleya

She left home alone;

Companionship with loneliness.

 

However, she knew

If there is a sudden earthquake in a secret room of loneliness

How terribly it demolished the mind and body

Aleya, the poet of light,

She knew if the formula does not match;

The age has to be given up.
