Before You Go

Noted Nest

By Ambika Sah



And when you whisper ask me

Why l'm looking at you like that,

Like an incarnated monument, ready to collapse

Or like a wonder, ready to break. through

Or like a traveller lost and found.


When you whisper ask me

As to why I'm looking at you like that

Like a constellation seconds away from dismantling,

Like an asteroid finally descending the sky

Or like the moon is being lighten up by a mere butterfly !

When I'm breathing in your skin

And our bodies fitting together like a long lost puzzle

Your face half like that of my lost lover,

And curves which scream that there's still millions to discover!


And then when you whisper ask. me

As to why I'm looking at you like that

I haste around the pages of my journal,

In a hope, that you can see me now, with my words that l scribble

I panic with all the blank pages, trying to fill it with locution.


Ambika Sah

You look at me, impatienty As if reconsidering the dismay

And l whisper back underneath my breath

"May be you'll disappear, the moment l look away'...

Will you ?
