Still For Coming Back

O’ dear look- 
the garden of lilac 
and cheery is
 alive

But- butterfly is dead
bees are flying 
distractedly

Lover and beloved 
on opposite doors 
of garden

News are fractured
 in fractional 
lands

You’re walking 
against feelings
on tears

I'm walking afar 
on the queue 
of ants

The soaked river 
shore rubs out 
memory

The soggy footstep 
misleads our
 feelings

The sun is going 
behind the lap
 of mountain

No fragrance of 
wonderful news 
in my inbox

Per bit of breath 
feels lonely in the 
orbit of moon

Cheap wine’s dealer 
is coming in 
boozy odors 

Macadam, rocks and 
pebbles plays game 
of shock together 

For next day all 
words lock up 
my ink pot

For coming back you 
and wonderful news
I'm waiting
