Poetry - ‘Ten Thousands More Moments Like This’

By Nabendu Bhattacharyya

That day, after scorching

And prolonged summer

When we danced, first time in the rain

I would like to live,

Ten thousands more moments like this.

That evening, after a gruelling day

And skipped lunch

When we had a simple meal at home

I would like to live,

Ten thousands more moments like this.

That, day, when nothing went right

And eyes were moist most of the time

When we met at our doorstep

You smiled,

I would like to live

Ten thousands more moments like this.
