We Two Poem by Suman Pal

You don't long for me a long time-
How long I also not looking for you;
Yet, under the same star we are-
The same light shines on this Earth still-
And we, being two distinct identity,
Survive on one Earth, under one light.
Footprints on Earth's old known paths gradually decaying.
Love slowly fades away,
Even, some day, every star must die, isn't it?
Now, he starts staring at beloved face.
Today, his heart fills with ecstasy
With radiant Sun and the franrance
Of its beloved, Kartick and Agrahayan. (Month of November to January)
