Theme: Agony

Emerging

The letter has lost its color
In flowing time.

The sharp edge of icicle hangs 
From the postbox of winter.
The love as if 
Pierced by the leer of an emergent knife
Left behind the stolid river
Following the impassible time. 

What have you kept beneath the glacier -
Blood or ashes?

The memory of lost piece of sunshine
Grows a thousand hums.
The shadow of a dead starburst 
On the unclear windowpane 
Clutches onto the benumbed fingers.

What is this incorrigible weaving of anemic words
From the lost warmth 
That had merged with an emptiness!
Never so appealing 
That Kanchenjunga would rise in its golden glow

Knowing all lie unread, 
Will they leave their path of dreaming sunrise 
And follow the setting Sun?
