Life Without You
Once upon a time,
My young life was
Smitten with a budding dream
To spend her entire course,
Nestled in the warm shadows
Of your fragrant breath!
The cunning design ..alas..
Of the ever-scheming fate,
Snuffed that infant dream
Before it ever blossomed!
The life now limps along
The nostalgic shadows
Of your bitter-sweet memories
Weaving around them,
A colorful web of lyrics
Building them a lasting monument
To keep burning the flame
Of your pain.. as a source of power,
For the throbbing journey,
Of my faltering heart-beats!
How does it matter though,
If the fate walked away
With our lush green dream,
Can it ever steal away,
The pain of your separation,
Which continues turn,
Every tear it bleeds
Into an immortal poem?
