Signature

by Nibedita Deb   Apr 27, 2006


Memories arise, from closed, dusty cupboards
Of love and despair. Youth is only expended
In augmenting dreams. This wasted photoframe
Holds thousands pictures of failure. Success -
Almost a lost word in the dictionary crouching
In a corner of it. So many yearsâ?? journals
Invisibly piled in the invisible pile of tokens from life.
Colour pencils of love in the pen-stand of faith
Waiting for me to go back, pick them and paint my canvas
That canvas, memorial of lost sights, and forgotten voices.
â?¦Only the scream of monstrous solitude
In unfamiliar timbre, shattering the glass case of mind.
