Stalemate Poem by Amitava Sur

You’re moving so far away –
That I can not catch you up anyway.
My life is in a stalemate now –
Since when I’m without you.

So far some words were unknown to me –
Sadness, pains and sorrows- words like these.
That sadness had stunned me now,
Dipping me in the sea of sorrows.
The black hole where I’m put in now –
Don’t know how to come out even.
My life is in a stalemate now –
Since when I’m without you.

Acute cold is all around –
A black curtain is dropped in my front.
Winter seems to be settling for ever
Freezing my world as a lifeless stone.
The dry rose - petals are dropping down –
Right on my face, turning pale and brown.
No sweet smell I get any more
Though I’m lying underneath those rose
I get only the pricks of throngs –
No more that maddening smell at all.
My life is in a stalemate now –
Since when. I’m without you.

My drunkenness of love and lust -
Are dipped in to the ocean vast,
In a dreaded darkness around me
I'm drowning fast in the dark deep sea.
My life is in a stalemate now –
Since when I’m without you.
