Fire & Ashes (III)

[dibyendra]

Between us
An uneasiness
For a long time

You cry for the thing
That I cannot give
I run, I hide

You linger
For the truth
I break the silence

Your emotional face
And your tearful voice
Urges me to swear

I cry within
You read my face
The cat is out of the bag at last

Bus arrived so soon
You wiped out the tears
But, they kept falling

I didn't like that crowded bus
No place for comfort
A tiring travel

The shedding tears
Blotted your eye shadows
You cried with a broken heart

I felt bad, so bad
You cried covering your face
Recalling the things said a while ago

So, I gave you
My shoulder to cry
To rest your burdened head

You loved sleeping
On my shoulder
I guessed so

You felt my heartbeats
I was at a loss for words sometimes
You listened to my every single word

I read your face
I hesitated to speak
The vehicle kept moving

You presented me the birthday gifts
Holding tears in your eyes
I captured that moment in my heart

You overwhelmed me
You had collected my poetry
You picked some of your favourites

Caravan of vehicles in front of us
The vehicle paused
Again a plenty of time to talk

The engine groaned
Still a sluggish pace of the bus
Our stations were still far

I made you cry
I calmed down your mind
I was a sinner and a sage

The vehicle stops
The road separates
I bid you goodbye

I whisper to you
Live for the moment
Who knows about tomorrows

ah, separations... not easy to take your advice and "live for the moment" so full with tears... thanks for your sharing...
