The Last Note- Amrit Sinha

The guy in the story proposes the girl with following lines on his knees, 'Rain being the witness,
As it pours down upon us,
I confess my love to thee,
Will you accept my love, and me?'

A note saying,
'Me the fire, you the rain,
How does it matter whether we lose or gain?
So stupid of me to imagine us together,
Your downpour turned me to ash forever.'

Last words before he left,

Oft have I heard the preachers say, 'Time and thee wait for none.'
This is false, quite untrue,
'Cause time and tide do wait for some.

Memories flash, moments of joy,
A glint of smile, a fateful cry;
Your heart very well knows the truth,
Love is one hell of a sinful fruit.

And yet this fruit I silently tasted,
Fought with the devils, then I rested.
An eventful journey life has been,
Dreams so pretty I've always seen.

A jolly fate I do possess,
Meeting you again was beyond my guess;
Thanks for the company through this mile,
Just never give up on that sweet smile.

Time to say goodbye, a warm farewell,
Enjoy your life, truly, without any fail;
Someday, somewhere, we will cross again,
Perhaps on a sunny day or a night when it will rain.

The teacher still preaches,
'Time and tide wait for none.'
Yet I couldn't agree to it anymore,
'Cause time and tide has indeed waited for one.

A pair of shoes-Manaswita Ghosh

Was I never yours to save?
I wonder as I lie in my grave,
Why did your eyes brim up with love,
Were they for me? The tears that you shed?
Or were they because I was gone now, so dead?
Why did your lips touch mine?
Was it because there was a love that you once felt?
Or was it because you thought we finally parted, a final touch that made all boundaries melt?
Why did you turn to me with that longing gaze?
Or was it because you knew this was the last time we met?
I thought I knew love, or did I know something that you just framed?
Was it my fault to draw you among the stars, and dream with them as they came and went?
Is that love finally gone, the one you framed?
I do not know, but it still remains, hiding somewhere underneath.
Were there no hidden promises after all?
Not a single fake tale to read to my soul?
Not a single touch that silences my screams,
No forged dreams to make me sleep?
I know it's over now, you're gone and so have I
Now that I have a forever to think of you, in my grave as I lie...
