☆ Your Memories… ☆

☆

Somewhere the moon got lost on the way,

Even the moonlight also got faded away

I’m a lamp, that too, an extinguished one

Then, how come my night shone so brightly

*

The genesis of my story was under the

shade of your gleaming divine eyes

You were supposed to be awake with me,

then, how come you fell asleep so quickly…

*

Even if we met, wasn’t it meaningless

with same distances, same separation?

Neither could I take a step forward nor

did your hesitation ever go away..!

*

From your hand to my lips exists the same

everlasting unquenchable mystic thirst

The liquor intended for me got mysteriously

spilled so haplessly, somewhere on the way…

*

Never ever my desperate attempts to

forget you could ever materialise

Like the branches of rose, your memories

kept swaying, whenever the wind blew..!
