Your Presence Poem by Kingshuk Chakraborty

When you were away,
You were still so much here
In ocean deep silence,
In torn mind
Amidst wild wind thoughts,
In love deserted tearful eyes,
In life
Turned lifeless autumn leaves.

As you return
Drench me in incessant rain of love;
It's like gush of water on dry river bed,
It's like sprouted leaves
After the first spell of monsoon rain
Opening arms,
It's like grey hills
Turning green.
Oh, Life has touched me again.
