Sing For Me - Poem by AKSHAYA KUMAR DAS

Sing for me....
....................................... ...........
every morning she used to sing for me,
just listened to beautiful rhymes,
rehearsed time & again innumerable times,
Within the closed eye lids her voice just in chimes,
she sang the mellifluous notes,
melody coming from the awesome quotes,
the reeds with the beats with absolute trust,
sang the song with unique faith,
that night at the podium saw her singing,
from a distance just kept silently watching,
the crowd was swelling,
the song in heart was still echoeing
she never knew my presence there,
she was no doubt a gifted singer,
but for whom the bell tolls she fails to remember,
in sheer anguish run away from there,
feelings just hovered if it could end there,
some one consoled me from behind,
time has not yet come for rewind,
thoughts like wish kept flying in the wind..
