I sense you - Faruque Ghanchi

Obvious tremble

gripped my very fingers

that were helped to trace letters – numbers.

My attempts of stabilising

spoonful of Holy water

fills up  

dry eyes with drizzle

Lost sparkle.

…

I seek to reach-

the hand that held mine

stabilising my wavering steps

rock solid.

My efforts

to peel  those  footsteps

one by one

culminate in piled up pathos.

Sombre void

that stretches from

your being around

to

absolute absence

erodes my existence.

How do I revere?

Merely I stand, shocked and still

there’s  trembling within

A pang of  penetrating loss

wanders in heart!

… Your presence in flight of a white dove

light as crystalline drops floating from skies above

And the emergent empyrean scent

sketches that loving face and smiles silent

I sense you, on lonely days

With us… as always.
