A Little C U R B Poem by Sachidananda Panda

When your words
remain unfinished
If unuttered words
stop between quivering lips

If cups remain half empty
on my coffee table
If expected Berceuse
turn to a squabble

When you take pleas
not to match eyes
My pinning for attention
are termed as lies

If my wishes lie unanswered
till the dusk
When you skip my page
to see today's new post.

I get disturbed to see
your frowning face
The days are squandered
to find solace

Know not I, if ever...!
You would make
A promise to keep
Since you know...
Sans a curb on your leaps
I fail to sleep
