Still…

a poem by Mukta Arankalle

I feel I have lost my heart,
And still I can hear it beat…
There is silence all around,
And still I can hear a song sweet…

You aren’t beside me,
And still you, I everywhere see…
You aren’t talking just now,
But your voice is reaching me…

You aren’t looking at me,
But I can still feel your glance…
I think about you quietly,
But I feel my heart dance…

You aren’t sitting behind me,
But still I turn around to see you…
You aren’t calling me,
But I go out to look for you…

I keep you aside for sometime,
And decide to work for a while…
But you come back in my thoughts,
And you quietly make me smile…
