Your Face Poem by Ajit Das

Your Face

Rating: 5.0


When I am alone with myself,
your face still surfaces
from the heaps of old memories.

You carried in your eyes
a wide, single stare:
bright, innocent, full of joy.

You showed me a landscape:
blue sky, sunlight,
soaking green, raw earth.

You spoke in words,
not contrived – words locked
in your quivering heart-beats.

But, blurred by the glitter
of life on the surface,
I failed to read your hints.

And you went away, leaving me
in faceless crowds,
to my featureless galloping years.

Now, returns in waning days
the forgotten alphabet, writing
on blank pages a note of regret.

Extremely poignant expression of someone who has suffered a jolt in the form of a painful bereavement. Musical impact of simple yet elegant words can be witnessed from beginning to the end: You spoke in words / not contrived – words locked / in your quivering heart-beats
