Parting

A sudden cry….
I saw smile on every bodies face,
I saw tears of happiness on my grand pop’s eyes,
I took my birth…
I was so surprised that I remained silent for months!

A sudden cry….
My mom rushed towards me,
I fell from the stairs just when I started to move on my knee,
That day I felt I was parted from my mom’s lap…
I started to crawl!

A sudden cry…..
“I will not go to school!”
I cried and cried but none condole me,
“Why I will remain bind in the four walls…?”
I was parted from my homely life to school life!

A sudden cry….. By all
My grand pop was taking his last breath,
He died; I was very small,
All were then crying; I was silent….
He parted from us!

A sudden cry…..By my friends
My farewell day from school,
I came here crying, today too; but no tears today.
I burst out “Madam I don’t want to go….”
I was parted from my school days!

A sudden cry….. After many years
That time I glanced on my mirror,
I was then going into a new life.
I was crying for my bachelor days-“full of freedom…”
They had left me; I was again parted!

A sudden cry…..
I was rushing towards my office, a car stroked me.
A crowd crowded me.
I was admitted in hospital…
I was left out without my legs, I became lame!

A sudden cry….. Now for the last time
A pain, which often beats my heart,
I am old; my children’s faces were all sad.
I taught them not to cry ever…
God told –“Enough of you on the earth, now come here forever!”

A sudden cry….. A last drop fall from my eyes
My lips expanded as if to smile,
As if to say my child –“Don’t cry”
My eyes remained fixed...
I died……..

This is what life is!!!
Someone once told me-“Enjoy the life today,
As yesterday had gone and tomorrow may never come!”
So let me wake now and I have the world to see…
As the dawn will not come twice to awaken me!

On Thy absence

It was many days ago, when I first saw thou,
I don’t know where you are right now.
I am alone and silent here,
Often my closed eyes are shedding tear!

A single rose can be my garden...
A single friend my world!
A faithful friend is a strong defense,
And he that hath found one hath found treasure!

A friendship is a relation between two,
A friendship is one soul dwelling in two bodies!
A faithful friend is what I need,
Perhaps a good fellow to everyone is the best friend of none!

It is the greatest manifestation of power to be calm,
I remain calm in coming nearer to you!
I don’t know where you are right now...
Wherever you are, please come back; I am calling thou!

Perhaps it’s the wrong path, in which I am walking,
But it’s my small heart which is not listening!
No matter of what storm to come and disaster to appear,
I know if you will be there none can make us fear!

Where there is an atmosphere, there is always a life!
Where there is an open mind, there is always a frontier!
Where there is a tongue, there is always a voice!
But I am not bold enough to utter in front of you, how much heart cares for you!

Believing in Buddhist mythology, I will once write on that red flag!
Everything that my heart has to convey you!
Through the waves of the wind, one day it will reach to your ear,
I believe that day you will come from there!!!
