To: Someone Who Bids Me Bye Everyday Poem by Dhiren Doley

I kissed the sky
The cloud melted and fell;
I touched the Moon
Darkness covered the atmosphere;
I stepped into the wild river
The sun settled sooner;
I wanted to see the birds
A storm billowed the woods;
I hid in the forest
The petals drooped into the dust;
The cosmos says- come not
The flowers say- touch not
Not knowing what and what not to do
I cried loud in the air and you said
‘Follow me not’; I shouted louder-
‘Oh touch me and let me melt into vapour’
You merged with the glory of all heavens
Leaving me behind dusted and buried
