A Stupid Lover... Poem by PARTHA SARATHI PAUL

no beep
no green light
no text from you my sweetheart

missing you
missing you hard
harder than anytime before

my mind is playing a child
beating my skull as a drum
and
heart is racing like a race horse
on the course
and
off the course

time is grazing on time grass
time is galloping with the feet of my sighs
time is flying with the wings of my empty hours
making faces at my sulky face

time is killing this lover
for the time being
and
time may put my life back to me
at the time you get back to me
