Poem: Somebody Should Come

By: Shahnaz Nabi

Somebody Should Come

Somebody should come
And take away
Your footprints scattered on the stairs
Each and every drop of flashing echo
Your voice created
Every gust of your wild sweat
Every draught of the ewer of intoxication
A few scratches from my glass
Moments strewn on the calendar
The width of moments
The agony of centuries
Somebody should come
And take away everything
Which witnesses
Your absence
And pick up the needles
You left on my eyes purposely
Somebody should come and drag me out of your
enchantment
