As I recall--a poem by Asif Sultan Matta
AS I RECALL
Pinches, tender-nudges, hand rubs and smiles;
Reverie of day, longing arises;
Darkness of night, my tears daubed face,
Foster in me a strange solace;
Forget I not that cruel storm,
That tore my heart and wretched my charm;
And shook my world, and dimmed the shine,
Ruined love of yours and dreams mine;
Do I recall those days and nights,
Everyday’s trysts and talking delights;
Do I recall those tears of yours,
Harboured I for a deep remorse;
That I could not wipe them off face
Which had faded your grin and grace…

Pinches, tender-nudges, hand rubs and smiles;
Reverie of day, longing arises;
Darkness of night, my tears daubed face,
Foster in me a strange solace;
Forget I not that cruel storm,
That tore my heart and wretched my charm;
And shook my world, and dimmed the shine,
Ruined love of yours and dreams mine;
Do I recall those days and nights,
Everyday’s trysts and talking delights;
Do I recall those tears of yours,
Harboured I for a deep remorse;
That I could not wipe them off face
Which had faded your grin and grace…
