But You Did Not Answer Poem by Arun Maji

I knocked your door
And cried your name.
Do you hear me o love?
I knocked your door
And cried your name.

But you did not answer.
Cry of my achy heart echoed in air
And then died slowly.

With sun rays of your smile
You appeared like the dawn.
With glow of your black eyes
You smiled like the dusk.
With melody of your whisper
You sounded like a flute.
And, like tsunami of sea
You swallowed my freedom.

Because you swallowed my freedom
I could not breathe without you,
Exist without you.

And because I could not exist without you
I knocked your door
And cried your name.

Do you hear me o baby?
I knocked your door
And cried your name.

But you did not answer.
Cry of my achy heart echoed in air
And then died slowly.
