A Letter And A Sigh -Joynul Shamim

A yellow envelope
Bearing the hidden pangs in tears,
Filled with undefeated pique in warm passion
And colorful dreams of deep mind
No more knocks at the door of addressee.

Screaming of new-born baby isn’t heard
In the written letters with the touch of soft fingers
Across the page of the heart.

Tales of the domestic yard
Thousands of words-
Are not carried by the postman
in his shoulder!

None counts the hours in the pages of the Calendar
With impatient waiting and perturbation!

Hidden fragrance in the folded paper
Love-letters written secretly from distant shore of ocean
Now have taken shelter in archives
With deep sigh!!!
