Waiting....Missing! ! ! Poem by Soumi Mukhopadhyay

Waiting....Missing! ! !

Rating: 4.8


Away from the hustle bustle…
Tram roaring.. Tea stall calling..
Rain drops pouring on my roof shade…
Music soothing my heart….
Yellow and black taxi….red mini buses…
Giant bridge. River calling…
Huge mansions….bargains….
Ethnic to modern..cultured to trendy all..
From tea to hard drinks….
I miss all…
Book fair…its flavor….its smell…
Smell of its cover…
Says all….
That huge bus stand. With lots of memories…
Bus conductors asking for change…
That lemon water stall at rupees five…
That night show…that band performance at huge auditorium…
My language songs, my culture …
I miss it all….
Somewhere between Kolkata and Kharagpur I am stuck….
My friends….that school…
That huge boys girls fight..
That silly jokes which I had loved …that late night studies…
Study was it called? ? ?
To discuss about crushes…laugh at our backs…
My long back crush….
I suddenly miss it all….
My long cycle ride…
Our tuition, our song…
The three musketeers…
Our dreams….our get together…
Suddenly appeared my thoughts…
Then my love …
My college days….that small walk…
That small talks…
That innocence. That smile…
My four years …
I miss it all….
Miles away I am ….
Want to go back and grab them all…
My sweet home….
Fighting caring sweet sister…
My mom's food and her smile….
Like the bright sunshine…
I feel it through phone…
I now want to see it for real…
My strong father…never said anything…
But his smile and proud conveyed all….
It's been eight months ….I miss my family….so all…
My best friends smile…with her endless gossip in nights…
Fight that occur less might…
Suddenly something crumbled me from inside …
One more month to go…
Sweet home coming all along..
Sitting in front my desk on a Friday evening…
I say to myself …consoling that …
I am a big girl…strong enough to stay like that..
But deep down…
Waiting for the calendar to turn..
Time machine to come…
Durga Ma will come…Ur daughter will come…
Just hold your desires for that long…
Kolkata calling …Kharagpur too…
Above all heart wishes to go..
To feel the smell…to see the beauty..
To cherish it all…
Home calling…waiting for long….
To be a small girl…like a child..
Looking at the window pane for the sun to smile…
Wandering soul…travel so long…
Time will fly…
Memories haunt…
Wait Wait….there are more to come…
I am just waiting for the clock to struck….
Home is where heart stays…
Love and bonding remains…
My city my home …
My eyes are waiting…..
