“Unspoken Sonata by Stewart Stafford

Love's lullaby's unheard duet,
Kisses of life drown shallow opinions,
Prejudged by logic, yet set apart,
Our oasis bars the negative legions.

Eternal tongues of a mother lode;
Looks of love, a second-sight ploy,
To visions beyond earthly interpretation;
Dance down darkest paths to ecstatic joy.

Spoiler seers nix romantic ideals;
Abyssal agendas in jealousy's biome,
A caterpillar doxxed for its butterfly shape,
Real love's navigator guides us home.

“Shiuli blooms in the rain,
white petals kissing mud,
like forgotten prayers
on a monk’s lips. I stand barefoot,
letting the downpour
wash the city from my skin.
You are not here,
yet your scent
lingers in every drop”
― Avijeet Das, A Handful of Shuilis

“Dust dances in the light
like tiny ghosts of stories.
I open a yellowed page—
your handwriting
from another lifetime. The shopkeeper pretends
not to see my tears.
He wraps the book
in silence.
I carry it home
like a wound
that refuses to heal”
― Avijeet Das , A Handful of Shuilis

“The Howrah Bridge
swallows the train whole.
I wave at no one.
No one waves back. In my pocket:
a shiuli petal,
pressed flat,
still holding
the scent of your goodbye. The city shrinks.
The heart expands.
This is how
we become
the places
we leave.”
― Avijeet Das , A Handful of Shuilis
