Come back

Contemporary Poetry Anthology by Santosh Kumar Biswa

Come back

How jovial I was when you came into my life. Vividly, I call up the pledges you made, That of lasting dreams, until our death.

But today, where are those pledges? Oh dear! Whom shall I impugn, you or myself? Maybe I shall, do me, because I dared you a great deal, More than myself, with all my creeds.

Maybe in her, you grasped more dreams than mine, So young, with her splendor, just on her skin, Not like me, so much older and no more the charm as of before.

Dear! Not for me, but I plead for the kids, Do that not, they scream for your love now and then, Is that your incentive, being the father? Your blood they are, for I see darkness in them.

How can I manage those two innocent ones? Half you possess, I can’t share all, Yours is more valid than mine, since they strive.

Glance not at my face, but on my heart, It decrees your appellation and theirs. No more could I see, tears in their optics, As I perceive them perishing in your absenteeism.

Come back, oh dear! Long not for another, Here I promise, to do my best, Happy and alive shall I retain you, Forever, let us begin from where we did, If not me, for your children, come back.
