I Responded To Your Call Poem by Binayakumar Mohanty

I responded to
your call
and
stepped out
with you
leaving behind
all belongings
animate and
inanimate.

You didn't
assure me
happiness of
any heaven
or luxury of
any form.

You didn't
assure me
the old wound
incurable
to heal up.

Still, I responded
to yourcall.
I danced with your foot steps
sang in the tune
of your melody.

My eyelashes
got wet
as you wept
with systole
Of your ventricles
pulses
I felt in the arteries
superficial.

You never assured
me a spectrum of
colors
with the colors
of your breathe
I painted faded colors
of frustration.

I responded to
Your call
and stepped out.....
