Seven Scenes before Endless Silence

- By Saptarshi

Scene 1

A river crossing the forest
stopped for a moment
to watch an autumn leaf
falling.

Scene 2

The delicate sky crumbled
and a torrent of rain
made love with a desolate town.

Scene 3

A lover travelling through time to see
if beloved ever struggled
between his letters or words.

Scene 4

The invisible wound sips sky;
a black mask decides future smiles.

Scene 5

There is a restaurant
somewhere in the universe
that serves nothing but first and last meals
to eat with the person you love.

Scene 6

A lyric of fire burnt my lips
as the footprint on shore
became an alphabet of silence.

Scene 7

windless night.
the train is late to the town.
cops on combing operation.

I escape through cloak and dagger
that lead me to your eyes.
I hide in your dreams.


(Endless silence)
