That One Letter ...



 

That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Still tears trickle down my eyes,
When I read,
That one letter!

Not painted with Victorian Odes,
Not embellished with Shakespearean Sonnets,
That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Still stirs my existence!

Feelings covered beneath the dust of being,
Thoughts imprisoned in the cage of mind,
That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Hummed the unconditional love of two kids,
Who grew up to witness the loss.

Still …

That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Livened the love which remained unloved!

Praises, weeps, laughter,
Love, hate, wrath,
Despair, nostalgia, longing
That one letter! Yes that one letter!
Embraced tightly the grains of precious sands
That …
Trickled down slowly,
Emptying the relics
Of feelings, thoughts, and unsurpassed love
Stored like jewels in their hearts.

That one letter! Yes that one letter
is only what remains ...

Solitude!



In the wilderness of my solitude,
In the alleys of darkness,
Walked I alone,
With a soul yearning for you.
Oblivion to every creature around,
Searched my eyes only for you,
Ignorance is the sword thou used against me,
Yet my heart hoped  for you.

Togetherness in the next life,
is the oath we have taken.
Death is not I'm scared of,
But desolate I'm 'cos of our separateness.
Prays my heart thus to stop beating now,
only to resurrect  when we are together!
