Both love and grief only last so long...

(2014)  Bhalo besechile, kena balo

You had held dear;
Why, do tell please...
When to me You did not yield;
When You weren't moved by my tears.

I have kept bedecked my home,
And I've ignored both friend and foe.
Crying I've been struck by sorrow,
But the night did vanish.

Finally the flower molted;
Tears mingled with the wind.
Grief adrift on firmament,
It was defeated.
