Cause I Was Absent

Morning shine of that day I did not see on the lotus petals Frogs were swimming on the crystal water of pond in absence of me Under the hyacinth’s roots fry fishes were playing hide and seek game in absence of me Ducks were coming bathing, swimming on pond water in absence of me Snails were hiding themselves from the jaw of ducks in absence of me Pigeon couples were walking with white clouds and were making love in absence of me My sleeping brought you in the sweet garden of earth to make love but I’s not there Lac-dyeing and tinkling ringed feet of you attracted me in light drowning water but I’s not there With blue lustrous dream for a piece of glittering sun I saw on your lips and arms in absence of me Drones and butterflies were coming in our garden, mocking us on the true sense of honey in true absence of me In absence of me the garden of earth, the pond and you were the pure combination of beauty in my poetic sense but I couldn’t grip It at last I couldn’t be grateful to God cause I ‘s there but in absent mood; so I couldn’t feel these within me -November 12, 2018 Chattogram

In your 'absence' -- every fibre of you, and your poesy, is abundantly present. A beautiful write, Mahtab! Best wishes, Gershon
