Sudipta Mishra, Puri, 6 April 2024
I miss you from the inner core of my heart,
I do love you.
After millions of years
I swear by my God that I am not tired of waiting for you.
After taking thousands of births on this earth
I now know,
you will be mine.
Still, I hold your memory
for not letting you go from my sight.
Memories may fade from my mind…
I have saved your messages on the chest of time!
Messages may get deleted from my device,
I have recorded your calls to heal my spirit.
That recording became a balm to my years of injury!
I don’t miss you now!
As the tears of pain bear the imprints of your absence
On my desirous face,
Don’t listen to my claims.
Just hold your heart to feel my scream!
Your heartbeats can measure the length of my sleepless nights…
