Withering Petals: A Poem by Anindita Mazumdar

It has been a long time probably eons since I’m waiting for you like a parched rose with withering petals in between the pages of your diary…

It’s been always enriched with bittersweet memories of the bygone days to gain momentum in the vastness of time and again…

Does it still perturb you??

 If it does, will invariably fetch a few drops of happiness to spread my fragrance once again… 

The unembellished silver lining is still attached with the thorns to remind the bond that too has withered along with these brittle, 

withering leaves leaving a trail of bookmark amongst the pages signifying footprints within sands of time to track the dazzling era of our togetherness…
