Parking Lot Poem by Gaurav Das

I just flushed the tar
of our memories
spread across my life
But, I survived

You wonder how?
I have lived it a billion times
You remember those Starry nights,
Inside those four walls, our useless fights
But, I survived

You find my heart,
an empty parking lot?
Parked emotions but
no feeling to drive
But, I survived

I survived the tsunami
of your hysterical chanters
Because I was lost in my world
Where every moment,
the bird inside me
Caresses the heart of my buddha
