Memory Poem by Akham Nilabirdhwaja Singh

Memory

Rating: 5.0


This night listening
to the melancholic song of tamna
(Tamna - a singing bird)
from the distance
I remembered the time
you and I sat together
in the solitude
of a moonlit night.
For at that time
the bird sang its song
from the distance
captivating our hearts.
Darling,
in this drudgery of existence
I had forgotten you
and the beautiful moments of life
With you in the past.


Recreated from the original published in the school magazine
in 1963 or 1964 yet records lost.
