Sometimes I see thingsNobody will believe everNot even the ardent believersEvery time I look at HimHe seems to shudder in shameWithout uttering any wordsI see Him talking with the dead soulsMassacred, in the name of God…Sitting beside their graves in tearsTears rolling down in silent prayer!©NilavroNill 16th October 2025

He Himself opened the doorFor me, right in the middle Of the night with a faint smileThe room was big enoughFor hosting the entire universeOf the dead souls, since eternityEveryone was too agitated toListen each other’s arguments, Only He remained silent, as ifHe had nothing to add on His own!©NilavroNill 27th September 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

I haven’t seen HimBut He was there, HimselfWitnessing them murderingThe innocents, defenselessPeaceful simple peoplesSince the very beginningI had no idea, about HimWas He too indifferent, orToo pragmatic to interfereWatching the eternal struggle…©NilavroNill 26th September 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

In my first dreamI saw Him writingThe Holy bookIn my second dreamI saw Him suffering badlyWitnessing the CrucifixionIn my last dreamI discovered Him in bad shapeToo socked to accept the truthToo afraid to face mankind again…©NilavroNill 24th September 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

I knew, I was dyingTrying hard to figure outIf anything, I had forgottenThere were so many thingsToo many faces to rememberToo many bad memories to forgetToo many mistakes to amendTo many promises to fulfilTo many grievances to address, asHe Himself never let me find Him…©NilavroNill 23rd September 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

We were walking togetherSide by side along the footpathWith stride after strideEvery few minutes, We were glancing at each otherWith smiling eyesI was always thinking of HimDidn’t know who was in His mindI was too shy to ask HimHe was too polite to disturb me…©NilavroNill 22nd September NilavroNill Shoovro

It was dark, darkest of nightsEven it was impenetrable for light And billions of years passed onIt was dark, even when He HimselfLooked upon the matter, closelyHe tried hard with stars and galaxiesIt remained dark everywhere aroundBelief, faith, desire and expectationsIt remined dark every time we triedTo light up everything but the soul…©NilavroNill 21st September 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

Nobody knew Him betterNobody seen Him everNobody had any clue eitherI saw Him working hardTo earn His bread everydayLike our forefathers and heirsI saw tears in His eyes, rollingHe didn’t know how to save peopleHow to stop ethnic cleansing, warAnd genocide, defeating the Evil…©NilavroNill 20th September 2025 NilavroNil Shoovro

Everybody left me, and thenI was alone in the universe More lonely, even than Him Nobody knew me, none at allAll my days and nightsI had none besides, not even HimSince then, I haven’t writtenA single word, or cried aloneAll the pages remined blankLike eternity without Him…©NilavroNill 19th September 2025 ©NilavroNill 19th September 2025

Oh! Again, I lost HimIt was too crowded for HimToo many people, too many trafficEven then I didn’t knowIf I could find Him againIf I could identify Him If I could convince othersHe was among them, Like everyone else, since eternity…When I lost Him, last time ©NilavroNill 18th September 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

I dreamed of Him last nightHe was walking alone, Murmuring something HimselfI didn’t understand anythingNeither a single world nor a linePerhaps, an extraterrestrial languageI too walked few steps, following HimHopping to find out His destinationHopping to find, whom He would meetHis family, His friend, His acquaintance…©NilavroNill 17th September 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

Most surprisingly, suddenly Fresh in the morning, one day I saw myself lying dead in my bedNot alone, I saw Him beside myselfWith His blessing hand and smiling faceWaiting for me to cross the dead-endNot that I was afraid of death, or too sadNot that I didn’t ever want to live longBut He took so many years to find me! AndNot in my lifetime, but when I was no more!©NilavroNill 16th September 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

I dreamed of Him last night,Not so happy, feeling sadWithout having anything to doHe was looking almost like meWith all the same mannerismsIdentical doubts, same anxietiesReading over the scripturesLooking for few more wordsTo define mankind in generalDefending His dreams His hopes©NilavroNill 13th September 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

Orphans crippled for lifeParents crying over the deadBodies smashed under the rubblesBelievers crying in His namePraying every day, every timeHoping, some miracle to happenI too, remained hopeful since eternityHoping to find Him among the sufferersCrying along, admitting His weaknessHis incompetency to save the world…©NilavroNill 10th September 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

The sunlight on the wallNewspapers on the tableWith reports of the massacresSeasoned liars of the peace summitsAnd the believers of the ScripturesWith imperishable beliefs and faithEverything robbed my sanityEverybody pushed me beyondEvery time I tried to save myselfI found Him missing from the scene…©NilavroNill 10th September 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

Time was unfolding itselfLike obscured violent dreamsHunting down the innocentsScriptures around the beliefsPushed everyone altogetherTowards point of no returnShadows of buried dreamsAshes of burnt-out hopes andSkeletons of dead prophetsTried hard to resurrect Him every day…©NilavroNill 9th September 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

Like the stars in August nightLike the dreams of the orphansLike the believers, waiting for HimI too was roaming alone besides The mass graves since time immemorialSince men started killing the innocentsI knew, even He was there with allBuried under the innocent bloods, Scattered around the eternal woundsI knew, He too failed to defend Himself…©NilavroNill 8th September 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

Last night I saw HimRunning desperatelyWith others, for coverToo many young childrenWith scattered limbsTransfixed eyes, blood stainedBethlehem was not far fromTime was circling around itselfEven He couldn’t save oneFrom crucifixion in their land©NilavroNill 7th September 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

In Bethlehem, on a particular streetOnce upon a time, days beforeI was walking alone, with noneTo talk with, in the midst of the dayWith exuberant blue sky extendedBeyond the horizon and the agesWith gentle breezes coming fromDistant past, or forlorn timesI was walking on like anyone, saneAnd composed, serene and truthful…

The sun is rising on the horizon, in the eastBut no windows to open anywhere any moreThe mediterranean morning breeze flowingEncountering no walls, no windows no doorOnly the blue sky hovering on, unlike dronesBut no roof-top, extending shadows, eitherOnly the meek earth mourning under rubblesBesides scattered limbs with pains, similarWashington Brussel London Paris or Berlin…

No more play timeNo more play groundFor the children Crippled with or without limbsNo more houseNo more shelterFor the children Starved, dead or aliveNo more hopeNo more futureFor the children Orphaned with or without limbsNo more painNo more sufferingsFor the children Starved, dead or buriedNo more landNo more Palestine…

One word, a name and then another wordGenocide, Gaza and ethnic-cleansingOne word, a name and then another wordDeceptions, Israel and ZionismOne word, a name and then another wordLies, Washington and complicityOne word, a name and then another wordWeapons, NATO and diplomatic-coverOne word, a name and then another wordOccupied, Palestine and destructionOne word, a name and then another wordResistance, GAZA and survival©NilavroNill 30th July 2025

Here I’m aloneIn this vast field of silenceEven beyond the horizonOn each side of the truthEverything is so calm and peacefulEverywhere one has to face the silenceSame as usual, as expected and mosaickedOn behalf of us, on behalf of everyoneNot a single word of dissentNot a single word of protestNot a single word of truth…

I was roaming aroundThe forlorn graveyardAlmost unrecognizableSitting somehow besideMy grave, lamenting thoughNot for myself but for HimNot that, I was trying hardTo find His grave, aroundIt was too much, not to find HimAlive or dead, before and after©NilavroNill 23rd July 2025 NilavroNill Shoovro

I was sitting aloneOn a park benchTalking ferventlyOn, almost all topicsFrom sex to politicsFrom religions to scienceIt was like an Egyptian nightWith newborn stars all-aroundI was waiting for His response tooAnd I waited long, everyday every night…©NilavroNill 20th July 2025
