Blink

The phone call went unanswered,
The smile was fading away.
Your broken silences,
My half hearted attempts.

You kept on moving and always stayed at the same spot.
The place where I would look for you would never change.
It is so difficult to find that spot again.

The twirl of the smoke reached the sky last night.
In my dream, you flew away on the smoke cloud.
The line was darkening
The boundary was blurring

The bell rang till dawn
The smile wanted to touch your lips.
It quivered often,
Did not find you in the dark.

Blink.
