Just one word

a poem by Ajith

Do you remember,
The dusk we were together,
We waited for something,
But it snowed.

So silent you were,
Like a bird lost,
In blue skies,
Searching for its nest.

You flew till the,
Sky became red,
For your nest,
Don’t you remember?

Let me try to recall,
That old love song,
I sang for you,
On those lonely dusks.

Why do you remain silent,
Like a breeze that won’t flow,
Like a spring without colours,
Like a rose without fragrance.

You loved those flowers,
But where did you disappear,
See the petals are heavy,
In the maiden dew.

Do not get lost,
Among those cruel thorns,
It will hurt your,
Tender fingers.

Hear, the unseen bird sings,
Again that same old love song,
I sang for you,
On those lonely dusks.

You are now a friend,
Of the dawn,
Of those bamboo flowers,
The rarest ones.

But you left,
Without even a goodbye,
The bloomed flower I brought,
Is still in my hand.

I still wait for you,
From dawn to dusk,
In sun and moon, just,
To hear you say-‘Goodbye’
