Heard the news,
Could not believe,
But when I saw
My body was shivering ,
I could not hold my tears,
It started rolling down my cheeks,
I felt my blood was freezing,
as if cold wind was blowing,
covering and embracing ,
I felt like shouting ,
but my voice was drowning
so deep that nobody could hear me,
I could not express my feelings,
that was surpassing,
trespassing the boundary
unwillingly would scatter the seed of love we had planted so affectionately,
silent prevailed so that we could stop thunderstorm from ruining everyone's life suddenly.

Every time I can visualise the moments spent together but cannot stop the flow
and age that grabbed us unexpectedly.

Acceptance was the final decision ,
wrinkles on our face,
smile fading,
groaning voice,
grandchildren around,
running with strength so strong,
We so weak once we used to be young and tough moving up and down.

Just see now ,
I can't see anybody around,
When I lost my love,
I became aloof and solitude
surrounded round and round.


Now I am waiting for the moment
I will perish and once again I will find my love in the moonlight I see everyday .
