Rainbow of Waiting

By Ibrar Sami

Behind the clouds, the sun hides its blushing face—
from within the winding path another path begins to rise.
I forget— that on this final evening, we were meant to walk a little farther together.

On the painted wall of my dream-lit heart, the torn dreams patch themselves together, sketching fragile images—
and from those sorrow-stained frames emerges a rainbow sky.
Beneath its shadow waits a humble, downcast woman.

In the dusty twilight of memory, I wander aimlessly;
the sun, bathed and weary, stands upon the border of pain—
and you are there, while I— let myself drift along the silent current of waiting, into the light of a rainbowed sky.

About the Author

Ibrar Sami is a Bangladeshi poet whose work moves through silence, memory, and the invisible borders that shape human existence. His poems often drift like nebulae—quiet, luminous, and charged with the tension of waiting—while tracing the fractures of a world stitched together by longing and shadowed history. Through images of cosmic distance, fragile unions, and blood-drawn cartographies, he explores how personal and collective memory overlap in haunting, intimate ways. His writing offers a collage of inner landscapes where silence becomes a language and the unseen becomes profoundly alive.
