That You’re Gone

Farhana Akter

It falls, It drops, It splashes over my skin
As if you’re coming;
It sounds, it smiles, it claps in my memory
As if you’re the bells of cathedrals.
It comes closer, it touches, it feels in my mind
As if you’re the wild’s gale;
It anchors, it sticks, it shoots arrows in my heart
As if you’re a battlefield that I can’t win.
It blooms, it gets colored, it falls in my desires
As if you’re the fallen angel who never dies.
It waves, it curls, it crashes at the edge of my fortress
That you’re not around;
It pales, it shivers, it glimmers in my eyesight
That still you’re undiscovered.
It inflames, it diffuses, it schorches in my existence
That you’re the only medication;
It mourns, it howls, it screams in my bones
That you’re not existing.
                        And
It storms, it lightens, it pours in my blood
That you’re the power station;
It echos, it recalls, it burns in my body’s horizon
That you’re gone...
And you’re gone forever.
