A Dream's Wait

 

তোমায় গান শোনাব

 তাইতো আমায় জাগিয়ে রাখো...

Singing it-

Lulled me to sleep, and 

kept me awake

Left stains of - Music and Paint.

Apologies-

For my loose T-shirt,

Oversized spectacles,

Dark skin and messy eyebrows.

I knew black and white never merge

Never.

But, you and me

We fell in-

L

 O

   V

      E

I had no sorrow when your ship sailed

Leaving Hope amidst my books,

pale food

and folds of the dreams.

I lived days 

Counting words from your favourite book

The malady of hate never crept in.

i read those unsent letters, you sent

The lexicon of love and stars amazes me.

when the sun rises and servile seashell dry

perhaps you will sail back

To the Black

To keep me awake and

Lull me to sleep.

Singing-

 

তোমায় গান শোনাব

 তাইতো আমায় জাগিয়ে রাখো..
