Two glances speak but silence remains
Two hearts beat but the oneness remains
At marriage it seems, our life did remain
But when life does trip you; what does remain?
When sorrow strikes, hope does remain
When hope deceives, acceptance remains
When acceptance dawns, no life did remain
When life is gone, memories remain
When memories flow, the fondness remains
Though life is gone, love shall remain

Hi Prabhakar,
ReplyDeleteReni asked me to read your poem on her FB wall. And I was badly moved when I did. And like you, when I am deeply touched, I prefer to put pen to paper, than speak. And a poem was born. Dedicated to you and your wife. May god bless you, friend. I wld love to read more. So I am a fan.

Two loving souls were bound by fate
Now one remains, he is destined to wait
The other rests in peace, away from her mate
Yet he awaits her return, counting minutes, hours and dates!
Memories, they say, are the hardest to erase
Some take to drinking, some choose other ways
Here is a soul who has penned down in phrase
Words that bleed emotions, yet never cease to amaze
My dear friend, to you am a stranger
But I wish I'd know you, to offer you some relief
In a world that has no time for anything that breathes
I'm moved to see you, hold on to your wife's wreath
You teach me that true love lasts a lifetime
Its not bound by age, nor sticks to a chime
You truly are a lover, one of a kind
Every girl would love to have you by their side
I pray your pain is eased with time, as you write
And that you are freed from all bonds that keep you tied
I hope you'd find love again, maybe less divine
And the gods keep you together to explore the world, long and wide!
