When She Went Away.... Poem by Jaya Das

Oh! From my pathetic life she went away
Her feet never treaded back on the bleak road
Heading towards my restless heart's abode
Everything changed, everything remained the same
I took another route, still I was a part of that game
And it seemed as if the parting waves of sea
Will never strike back the shore
The dormant seed'll never wake from its deep sleep
New fruits, the plant not gonna bear anymore
The needle of clock will not be tracing the path it has tread
No more on my lips, smile will ever come back
No more the mercy of clouds be shed
Leaving barren land of my heart beating, dead
With these thoughts brawling in my mind
I started walking on the long road
I walked past the silent mob
where people were talking without speaking
I walked past the small kids
Playing games without moving
I walked past the musical band, busking
Singing songs without uttering the notes
And I walked on and on, reaching the extreme
The long road further paved no more
My mind was choked up, heart gave all hopes up
Darkness gradually extended its blanket covering my eyes
And I felt my end now has arrived...?
But then within a fragment of second, I don't know
From where a beam, cutting the darkness embraced my heart kicking off those gloomy clouds....they hastily depart,
From the back an enchanting voice gave a call it seemed
Whispering in my ears, it screamed,
Like a river, life has to recklessly flow
The boat gonna drown, if the oar I stop to row
Cause the present never stepped back to past
Nor it knows the place where future stands
And so turning back, with the present I decided to shake hands.
