Odour
of medicines,
and of those old rugs
now became my only world...
am already tired now,
fighting all those battles,
life had handed to me..
Those four walls, around me,
with its colour fading,
reminds me,
that my life is getting, shades of grey.
even a single sun beam,
cant brighten up my room.
flowers kept on my table,
all got so dried up,
no hue and scent remains.
Its killing me silently,
the pain of this disease.
that day is getting closer,
the day am leaving this world.
It started smiling at me,
staying not so far.
there remains something but,
my one last wish.
no more days are left.
memories started flowing out.
not from heart, but right from my eyes.
taking form of water drops.
such a looser am I..
Once my life was green,
youth was at its bloom.
and there comes, a day,
an young man with his heart,
asking mine in return..
those days were full of joy.
we walked through all the lanes,
which was covered with green meadows.
all day, we watch together,
the sun rise and sets,
our hands holding together,
our hearts getting closer.
he told me bye one day,
to get blessed from kith and kin.
he promised to be back soon,
to be back for me alone,
to hold my hands forever..
I sat there all day and night,
setting my eyes on way.
but no one yet arrived.
I kept my life waiting,
for that very day to come,
to kiss him in the church.
I know, now its too late,
to see a such vague dream.
But that's my only last wish,
I know it wont be true,
to hold that hands again,
before I close my eyes,
forever and ever..........
