Their Conversations And Monologues Poem by Khairul Ahsan
Their Conversations And Monologues
Along the earthen pavement by the side of the lake
Walks some absent minded souls;
Some self absorbed,
Some hand in hand with soulmates,
Some, just aspiring poets to be, fascinated by
Whatever the nature around them has to offer.
As they walk, they talk
To themselves or to each other.
To their soft conversations listen
The placid pool,
The mute lamp posts,
The deciduous trees and the fallen leaves.
To comfort their tired legs and waist,
Some empty benches wait eagerly.
Even the birds on the trees stop their own songs
And listen to these conversations and monologues.
