Lovers’ Lane

a poem by Partha Pratim Majumder

Down the memory lane!
One step forward means
Ten steps down in the tears of time

One boat sailing back means
No shore and no comeback
Only thunder and mammoth storm
To perish in the ocean

So let’s not walk down the lane
In the tunnel of no light
On the land of no life
To the despair of missing you!
To be not able in reaching you

Up in the funny future
One step forward calls for nearing end and
A lonely me! who missed a life behind,
Who does walk along in a rainswept night
Or in a purple dawn
To retrieve his lost love
Right or wrong, out of the closet of time
To confirm that
Lovers’ lane has lost in the blue
It’s gone!
