Sitting Like This

--- Saumyaajit Achharya 

 

Like successful people sit next to one or two sorrows

I am sitting next to you

 

Who are you?

Sad day?

Light?

Or is it long road  of mine?

 

Nothing is known

Still sitting next to you...

 

As the magic of the tamarisk sits by the sea

Or a torn fetus sitting in a tray

I sit

I sit

That way forever

 

As a failed person sits next to few happinesses

So am I

I sit by your side...

 

Oh Peace!
