Another World Beyond

Arindam Moulick

There wasn’t anything
I could not spare

To tell you

That I had always

Believed you care.

Not just for

A moment or two

But for lifelong through.

There has been

So many things unsaid.

I needed you

To be by my side.

And to say that to you

Was still my humble dread!

But yet you chose

To say goodbye.

I could not think hard

About it all

As I thought…just why?

I wish I could hope

To bring about a change

In this stressful life of mine,

So I wanted you

To help me out

From this

Just one last time.

But you chose to go away.

And it seems to me

That you haven’t thought

To come to see my way.

I was hoping so much

You say

That you will

Love me in every way.

You’ve left me alone

In the wilderness of time.

Since then I could do nothing…

Even as I hardly had ever felt

That maybe you were not really mine.

I have belonged to you

In so many different ways.

You know I was there

Waiting for you

For the love of our days.

I had plenty to say to you

As tears soaked my eyes

But silently time went by

And so did our individual lives.

When you were no more

Coming into my life

I thought I will be shattered

As I knew not

How to fight and strive…

Remains of those

Last few days with you

Now lying scattered about…

Ah! I was so happy then,

Telling the world aloud!

It cuts like a knife

When you said it’s over.

Hardly as I knew

When I thought

Things were getting closer.

You went away…

Perhaps, you had to.

Remember those words

You spoke on phone?

When I was gone outside

For a day or two…and done.

Let out things stay

As they stayed ever together

I understand for sure

You may have gone through

Very difficult weather.

Let this world go by

The way it always went.

We are sure to meet

Someday, somewhere,

As we seem to repent.

Then, we will put up together

A new world –

Where the flowers grow fair

Where the moon shows

A sweet circle of fun

Only for us to stare.
