Defeat

Poet: Engineer M. M. E. Hossain



Defeat you are not only –

The smile of broken dreams,

But sometimes you are also –

Again, the flute of dreams.

Defeat you are not only –

An insult to the truth,

But sometimes you are also –

A farewell to lies too.

Defeat you are not only –

The crooked current of the ocean,

But sometimes you are also –

Anew like.

Defeat you are not only –

The hood of a snake,

But sometimes you are also –

The harp played by a sorcerer against snake.

Defeat you are not only –

The sky of thunder,

But sometimes you are also –

The sweet south wind with wonder.

Defeat you are not only –

Hearing the call of the demons,

But sometimes you are also

Bringing new spells.

Defeat you are not only –

Seeing the end of life,

But sometimes you are also –

Again a new life line.

Defeat you are not only –

The dry mockery of winter,

But sometimes you are also –

The very image of spring.

Defeat you are not only –

The depths of the unknown forest,

But sometimes you are also –

The colorful appearance of the capital.
