Nourishing Love Poem by Uttam Biswas

You are not beside me,
Doesn't mean -
I am without thee.
You always dwell
In my heart,
Just like a beautiful
Little singing bird.
When you stay away
From me so far,
My heart finds
Thousands of words
to utter.
When you so near to me come,
I find myself almost dumb.
I don't know-
Why this happen
So often,
My heart is baked inside-
Like an oven.
Why don't you understand?
The sea of words,
That I want to say,
Like the sea waves
Subsides at the bay.
As the sea waves
Mingle at the bay,
You and I
Standing face to face,
Mingling with each other,
And find nothing to say.
The current of the river
Leaves scars
At its bank,
See the scars in my heart,
That leaves the flow of blood,
And fathom the pain
I feel for you
Being sank.
We never know -
When a tree blooms flower,
Flower becomes fruit,
And this fruit once ripes.
You never knew -
When I fell in love
This love became strong,
And now for you
My heart always vibes.
Even in the North pole
The ice melt,
You must feel the love
That I felt,
I have planted a tree
You should hear,
Let us help the tree
Sweet fruits bear.
