Bireswar Halder - THE LAST JOURNEY

Tuck away vanity forever
Don't turn your face off
Come to me one last time
I shall be in the dark shadow
For a little while more
The coffin awaits its last nail
Memories wait
I long for your loving touch
Don't keep aloof anymore
Please come near the coffin by the fire
I will watch the flames
Curling over into the sky
Perhaps, you will see
And think of our playful memories
I will wait for your comeback
Nothing will change in the world
Except for the small pile of ashes
Spilling over the vase
Which lies in front of you
