Only Witness Poem by Malabika Ray Choudhury

The clock ticks with my heartbeats.
My heart beats faster,
When I gaze at the night-sky studded with scintilating stars,
With a glorious full Moon strangely shining till dawn
And ponder about the very few days
We had been together!

Stars, stars, you are quiet,
Although luminous you shine,
Are you going to keep our story
In your hearts,
Although the story is mine!

It's a very special story,
Which only the stars can tell,
They are the only witness,
Of love, and passion, of longing and compassion,
Of sadness and deprivation,
Of a miraculous bondage!

Stars blink,
The clock ticks,
My heart bleeds!
