In Your Absence. Poem by Sudipta Bhattacharyya

You have left your touch
On the walls, floors, bedcover,
Window sills.......
You have touched the yellowish pages of the olden books of my bookshelves;
You have combed my hairs gently with your fairest fingers,
When had insomnia!

No, never you! Yet your all words and silent footprints
Knock me now every night;
I never think life complex.
I never think what is right or what is wrong;
Yet my mundane experience surpasses my innocent heart;
I have become tired of seeing Face and Musk;
I need you, I feel eagerly your presence in your absence,
No, never you! Your words I need in your absence.
