LIVE ON

The funeral pyre burns

The sun sets!

A generous heart

Kind speech

A  helping hand

Now live on as just memories! 

MISSING FACE

I can still feel your warm breath

Gently blowing over my face

I can still feel!

Your endearing tight embrace

The first kiss; and the last  

Yet my dear

Where is thy face? 

WINDOW OF MEMORIES

Through the window of hope, we once peered together!

But in the shadow  of death , I tread alone now!

Colorful rainbows and sunny days, we imagined our future!

But did we imagine the sorrow of  today!

Together we were, as we held hands in every  stormy weather!

But now, drenched and empty handed,  I stand  here alone in the  falling rain!

My hopeless soul yearns for those lost memories!

But what else do they bring, but pain!

Oh beloved of my life! How  much longer must this lonesome journey last ?

PICTURE FRAMES AND MEMORIES

Picture frames and memories

Hopes, smiles and miseries

Of love, loss and emptiness

The eternal pursuit of happiness

Of dreams and visions that only shatter!

Life and meaning; that don’t really matter!

With bonded chains of attachment

A life free of detachment

Can  selfless frames without memory

Be free from life, and its misery?
