You Poem by Jyotishman Debnath

you
you
I)
I wish I'd say goodbye
in a blue colored room
when we meet,
words become strangers
what remains is
some breaths and some loneliness
I was waiting for you to
take the rhythm of moon
and darling keep the slices
of green in the curves of your body

II) I wish we'd talked
though I m being forwarded to a big nothing
still sometimes at the note of a flute
I hear a hum
words that can only be understood in silence!

the words are heard by the soft gooseberry flower
and the big fig tree
but not me
but not me


III)

I remember playing with your buttons
you said nothing though
a sweet surrender it was
like a breath you kept on speaking love

you are the daughter of rain
you are the source of misty dew

IV)

you know, the moon in the sky
you know the clouds are singing a song
you know there is a tune of a melody
or some Spanish guitar

you have come (in my dreams)
you have reached at the bottom of my heart

come,
sit down
let me tell you a dream!

v)

at the note of the flute
the clouds become letters
at the force of the tides
like a solitary fisherman
I drown in your shadow
in your story

look now
how I'm trembling

why do you let
why do you let

others to read
the red story of your heart
when it's always unfinished
but I doubt
there was no story at all


VI) I wish I'd say goodbye
but how can I?
when your address is already
written in some corner of
my heart,
in a box, memory!
and often I keep on opening the box
from dusk till dawn!
