Deciduous Tree

by Kingshuk Chakraborty

What did you get out of it all?

Was the deceiving for fun

Or you moved away

Threatened by the depth of love?

What brought you to the fence

Seeking warmth?

I saw, how scared you are of fire!

The loneliness seeps into

The silence,

Merges with the darkness

To settle in like a cold winter

Engulfing my heart.

Oh, December within

Cries for that cinder

That can flare up the fire.

You may have flowers

Bestrewing your garden

But there remains

A deciduous tree at the corner

Losing its all, awaiting

The time for spring....
