The ceiling fan creaked above as Rishad typed furiously on his laptop. Lines of code scrolled down the glowing screen like streams of magic spells. He wasn’t just any ordinary teenager; he was the best programmer in his school, maybe even in the whole city. But tonight, his project wasn’t...
Sleep, little friend, close your eyes, The stars will smile in quiet skies. No more books and no more pen, You’ll never have homework again. Your bag is still, your shoes at rest, Heaven will hold you best. The fire was loud but you’re now free, No more fear and...
Each drop is tearing my world apart Shaded cloudy sky’s gazing at my eyes With every breath I’m lightening my heart Blazing thunders retaliate my sighs. Whimsical breeze whispers to me I stand alone and listen to its miseries, Faraway somewhere I see a man standing Looking out for his...
He Is Calm, and I Am Too He is calm, And I am too. He drinks lemon tea, And I drink coffee. (this is the only thing different about us) He, like me, wears a loose striped shirt, And I stare, like him, in a monthly magazine. He does not...
Mahmoud Darwish (13 March 1941 – 9 August 2008) was the national Palestinian poet and author who won numerous awards for his literary output. In his work, Palestine became a metaphor for the loss of Eden, birth and resurrection, and the anguish of dispossession and exile. The poet Naomi Shihab...
(After Episode Two) The road to Thakurgaon was long, broken in parts, and half-swallowed by creeping grass. Crows squawked in the pale sky. A quiet fog hung low across the highway like a secret no one dared to speak. Shipon pedaled the creaky bicycle cart with all his strength, the...
The Atlantic was always a strange place, but what Dr. Elara Myles discovered off the Azores would haunt the world forever. For most of her life, Elara had studied gravity.

_Once_ it smiled a silent dell Where the people did not dwell; They had gone unto the wars, Trusting to the mild-eyed stars, Nightly, from their azure towers, To keep watch above the flowers, In the midst of which all day The red sun-light lazily lay, _Now_ each visitor shall...
I sail to you in the ocean of my dreams To a far away distant place Of great beauty and tranquility Where pain and suffering do not exist, Where we give praise for our joy and happiness, Where our love intertwines with a love for all things O beloved keeper...
Fear resides within, Dark power engulfs the sane. No one to speak, no one to see, Allowing all to endure the pain. O, freedom, where you escaped? Thee is seeking you at the verge of our breath. Hence no one to stand tall, no one to act, The hyenas are...
When one creation leads to another There’s nothing that can bother. A sketch can turn into a poetry A picture can evolve into a story. A photograph may turn into a novel A painting can be time travel. A beaded earring can make someone smile Even if that is for...
Thirty-six days of blood and storm, A revolution in youthful form. Classes stopped, but lessons grew— In every chant, a future knew. They banned our words, they shut down net, But courage rose where fear was set. We saw our brothers disappear, Yet never once collapsed in fear. From Dhaka’s...

When I come to you for shelter on a rainy day Please don’t push me away. If I’m wet, shivering, my paws slip on the way Please don’t push me away. I may meow, or bark, even I’m scared of the dark Remember, I’m a life too, not a toy...
Hey bro, hey listen, listen carefully— It’s July, and the heat isn’t just from the sun. The whole country feels like it’s about to explode, It should, cause we’ve been quiet for too long. Merit means nothing if you don’t have connections, Dreams get crushed under corruption’s directions. Before leaving...
The year was 2097. Earth was no longer alone in the cosmos—not in knowledge, at least. After decades of robotic probes, space telescopes, and Martian colonies, humanity’s gaze turned farther—toward Saturn’s enigmatic moon, Titan. Beneath its thick orange haze, scientists suspected, might lie alien life. Not the kind in movies...
Shahed Rahman pressed his gloved hand against the glass dome of the observation deck aboard the ‘Mawaddah’, the first deep-space Islamic research ship ever built. Saturn loomed in the blackness—its golden rings glowing with quiet magnificence. But it wasn’t Saturn that captivated him. It was what lay beneath one of...
Sweet dreams form a shade, O’er my lovely infants head. Sweet dreams of pleasant streams, By happy silent moony beams Sweet sleep with soft down. Weave thy brows an infant crown. Sweet sleep Angel mild, Hover o’er my happy child. Sweet smiles in the night, Hover over my delight. Sweet...
