Those who have left
walking along the shadowy path
merging with the
dream-like fog
Those who did not look
back
and crossed miles
fading into the crowd
in another world
Those who walked the milky way and
befriended the stars
Do they know that
In reality, they could
never go away!
In every half-baked
smile
In those sudden
awakening from sleep
Along those foot-paths
and by-lanes
In a quick
brushing-away of a teardrop
Within the aroma of the coffee cup
They all stayed, trapped permanently!
It is not easy to
go-away
It is not possible to
fade in the hazy future
You are caught into the web of
Memories.
You are buried into
the chest that heaves in pain
You are imprisoned within
those eyes that sparkle with laughter.
The morning that I had
seen in your eyes is still with me.
I had taken that
morning in my palm
Only to bury it into
the backyard garden.
Now it has branched
into a delightful tree
Under which I live.
Those who have gone
away
Those who have
forgotten
They didn’t realize that
It is not possible to go
away
They remain
imprisoned, caught, and trapped forever!
