Ereyesterday

By Tresa Nair

"I wrote this book in love, in pain,

In joy-remembering each name,

Names of lovers lost,

Names of voices dead

Tales of loving at a cost,

Of romance, and of life in shred

It's my heart for you to read or leave

Or find solace when you grieve

About the Author

Part I

Your Name

I have composed a victorious poem

In the first line of the first stanza

Your name erupts in a low hum

I wrote your presence is an extravaganza 

Next, I weaved your smiles and tears 

Layered it with joy and grief

Encrypted in it are also your fears  

Your anger, as you shuddered like a leaf

The second stanza engulfs our relation

My love for you, yours for me

Our desire and obsession

Entwined in the poem is our history

And with each word I hear music 

Soft sound from music that came

Rippled my blood in rhythm acoustic 

And I heard it humming your name

Final stanza ensued our ripped pages 

Exposing our agonies on the surface 

Writhing our minute secrets of ages 

It sang of tribulations that we faced 

With each strand of secret revealed 

There were countless beads scattered

In each bead, I saw your name sealed 

So, I ceased writing to keep it unshattered

Revisiting Your Smile

I couldn't breathe awhile

Your absence—

It was driving me senile 

As I close my eyes

I feel your embrace   

Imagination crafts your guise

Clumsy, yet with
