SOMEDAY

By Khushi Chaudhary

Someday I’ll leave this

Will fade in salty nostalgic perfume

Water under the bridge will no longer drench

My melancholy, lullaby, poetry-filled room.

 

Someday I’ll leave this

All these pages crumpled in bin,

Ink dripping off the desk

Pen lying broken alongside that ginger-imbued pin.

 

Then a silhouette will walk in,

Will walk in taking off the quotes from the wall.

Imitating maim, painting afresh new all.

 

Clouds will be pocketful

Time will feel paralyzed

While lyrical thoughts fractured in head,

Ethereal forgiveness in my portrait’s eyes

Will bind him a tale-like thread.

 

That silhouette will catch sight of pages in dawn,

Eyes glistening with settling sun bliss

He’ll absorb it, all that I drawn.

 

In the chest of the drawer

A message will lie,

Carrying truths of folks

Wrapped in theories of my poetic lies.

 

Inkling will turn sonorous

Pink origami pigeon fidgeting to try,

That tangled soul will read the secret - “Moon was not the love, sun is where I wanted to fly!”

 

Another empty journal blossoming from hidden corner 

Will permeate the mood,

Turning the cover page - “I wish someone would have loved me”

Will be the phrase scratched and crude.

 

My zenith sitting carefully in his hands

Will appear a serene milky fur,

And that someday that someone somewhere in a silent room will pick my soul off these pages

Affirming with blur - “ I wish I was that someone who would have loved her” <3
