It Does Not Matter How Much You Ignore Me

Sorry, I no more seek your suns
Nor moons
Yes, your suns I loved very much

Your passionate sun
Around which my planets would run
Your cool moons
Shedding long leaves
On my glistening lagoon
I remember
All my swoons
From wine in your spoon 

But your nerves
Went for new curves
It happens
Very often
Our rivers do not like the same course
Especially when you endorse
Flames of passion
And we are rivers

You developed a new craze
In a psychedelic haze
In that crazy spree
You started neglecting me
Initially I got lonely
Missed you terribly
My ocean frozen I was in a depression
Of the morbid flower
In pale blue showers
From the two windows
Morose under compulsion
For many a day, month and year
Irritation in the mug of bear
Tearing my spirit
Pulverizing all my lyrics
Landslide in Mirik 

But again all rivers are resilient
If you stop its normal course
It gathers unexpected force
The remorse underlie

I grew seasoned without you
I was out of the bottomless blues
Though could not but reflect on the cues
In the morning dew
And sighed too
But I learned to live agile and alert
Brushing aside the frozen heart
Gave up on hashish
Cleaned the debris
Started looking smart

Now I have travelled a long path
No more remorse no wrath
No smokes of the aftermath
Now I understand
The diamonds of life
Love matters much
Especially in the flowers of touch
But when you ignore
It does not matter
I have got my poems of freedom
Your walls can never ruffle them

Probir. I have read this poem many days ago and I just had one of your verses from this piece on my mind. You must know(must you?) that I look up to you as my elder with much respect and have been benefiting from your more advanced poetical wisdom. "I started looking smart" but my thoughts recalled dressing smart rather than looking. Either way my understanding is the same as I do respect you enough to presume your words are well thought out as well as written as are mine...sometimes..7.

Hi Probhir. This is a tragedy that unfolds in our lives. It also happened to me and i ended it. Its narcissistic and cruel to ignore someone as if life is a game. These words come from the heart .

Thank you ... My most poems are impersonal in their content ... Whenever I write such poems I get into a fusion of empathy ...

As I read your poem, I become the rivers. They lead to the excellence of your last verse. "Walls can never ruffle my poems of freedom" (paraphrased)
