Abandoned

 Khaleelul Rahman CK

The last day of silky springs

In a modern flat with dusky corners

I am sitting in those corridors alone!

And looking to the bright moon,

that started to disappear forever.

 

I am hearing those words alone!

A new mother in my family,

says in the silence of next room

“He is not wanted here! He doesn’t

belongs here, I want him out.”

That tore my childhood apart.

 

I am remembering those days alone!

I had a mother, my own protector

whose love was always there

as the dock leaf to soothe sting of.

A year before she went away

abandoning my soul in these dusky corners.
