THE STORY THAT WAS



many moons ago, I acquired

the habit of writing to you;

everyday, sweet, unrelenting

vows of keeping in touch.



you stopped writing

my verses –

wasted on many

lines you don’t recite;

this estrangement of unrhymed

words, paper and ink

what metaphors

need to be forgotten?



Surely, I won’t weep

over your name, but would trace

tell-tale signs of poems

on an empty heaven.
