When the sight of lonely star
in cold night sky approaches my vision,
it reminds me of
you…..
Is it a star?
Or as they say, is it just
light?…..
Just like
your memory is left
in me,
But you are not
here,
Anymore…..

Beautiful flowers that
spread fragrance…..!
They make me reflect
on the days
we spent
together…..
Of course,
You were the rose
that made our time
fragrant,
just like it was
your birthright
to make lives
worth living…..

The flowing rivers
carry the signs
of you…..
You were calm, patient
and flexible,
yet whenever it was necessary
you were as
fierce
as a storm…..
Yes,
a current
with
radiant tough love…..!

Sea and Beach…..!
They are meant to coexist
as long as they are
destined
to remain…..
Yet what made our story
like the tale of
light and darkness?
I’m still here
But you are
nowhere…..

They say,
TIME
is
the ultimate healer,
At the end
it would drown one’s pain
in an unreachable
abyss…..
But,
is that what
I really want?
To make
you
a total outcast?…..
The simplest and
the absolute answer
is
“NO”,
Someone might call it
a disease,
but it’s something
I crave to keep
till I reach my
grave…..
