And I start walking.....

I start again...to write. It's been a long time since I wrote, but now I decided I should start again....to write. All my previous endeavours in the field of literature has been in my mother tongue(bengali), but this time round I decided that the language should be english, doing justice to the alphabet available in my keyboard.
I start again....to write. Not that I couldn't do without it, but still I decided I should start and write just for the sake of writing and enjoying myself. Sometimes it's enjoyable. I don't know how long I will be able to continue with this hobby, but till the time I feel motivated enough to do so, I decided I should continue to write. Not that I expect that someone will start taking exceptional interest in my short essays, atleast nowadays I myself have lost the interest of going through other people's writings, but still I thought I should write.
If you had the patience to go through the first two paragraphs of the blog, you might have noticed that I am really trying hard to convince myself (more than you) that I should write. But it was important that I start from somewhere, and thank God I found this very apt starting by convincing myself that I should write. Thank you for going through this....the next few lines are my gift to you:

The Un-named Verse
He stood alone,
Quietly round the corner,
Thinking hard, very hard;
I went near him,
Called him by his name,
He didn't respond!!
I called him twice, thrice,
But still there was no answer from him.
Finally he came out of the trance
And cast a strange look upon me
I could see there was a strange glare in his eyes....
He tried to speak,
But something held him back,
Like some unknown fear of spilling out a well kept secret.
He finally lit a cigarette and said,
"Do you think I should start to write?"
