Lolita Dreams - poetry by Ujjol Kamal

Dec. 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Kumar Kamal is a poet of Bangladeshi origin, preferring to write under the pen name of Ujjol Kamal. The word Ujjol in Bengali means bright. Born in Dhaka, Bangladesh, he emigrated to the US in 1997 where he is presently a resident of New Jersey.

Ujjol traces his poetry roots to his fifth grade, developing into a fully fledged poet while being exposed to the compounded influence of the 18th Century English Poets, the Metaphysical Poets, the Romanticists, and the works of Donne, Blake, Milton, Shakespeare, Tagore, Nazrul... to name just a few literary great minds of our times.

In his own words: “Writing poetry comes naturally to me. I love to write deep, dark, lyrical, esoteric poems. I try seeing the World beyond the veils of veiled love, lust, desire. All manners of human suffering affect me gravely and sadly. Poetry is the art of love, death, and life. I hope you enjoy the hue, the aura of beauty that lies deeply imbued in each one of the words of my poems.”

Lolita

“Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins” Vladimir Nabokov

Make a little way for my sorrowful flame
She burns in her own lonely lovely flame
Like the chaste red rose who’ll never know of her own divine beauteous ways
Beauty must bleed to keep her beauty intact
Viola inviolate
Shrine sacrosanct
Make a little way for my wayward fiery-wet-flame
A strange time has come into play
The days of Romeo-and-Juliets have ended
Nude bars and topless bars, brothels and escort services have taken up their places

Shrines become empty
Rivers run dry
Forests cut down to make cities and towns
Wherein the clowns, priests, politicians, preachers play on their
twisted nouns and pronouns

Debauchery
Pornography
Bestiality become norm and morale
Children of Eve and Adam who had ever thought would become the
followers of the Satan
Assad is still killing

UN is still silent
Russia and China veto
Everyone must possess a piece of the pie
Shia, Sunnis, Alawites
So many sects . . .
