After the Parting

Adnan shafi is a poet, writer, columnist, short story writer, and reviewer.

After parting

After the parting,

even so, I too was alive

bearing imperturbably

the ascendancy of this

contagion,

In the mode of being apart,

wasn't unwrinkled to be quiet _

After a long time, you lynched

the heart, till now whatever betid,

betid for the right

When have I blamed you?

I mewled myself on the

extramundane ecstasy,

And stitched my own slits/cuts.

With how much love, and withering

of me,

I have enamored you from the heart

And so, why have you hurled a stone

in the calm lake?
