Mourning

I kissed him on his cheeks He did not wake I kissed him on his lips He did not wake I kissed him on his forehead He did not wake I cried and cried and cried I called the storm to keep me cool I called the moon to show me light I came out of the room hairs flying shroud On to the street, deserted It's raining hissing like vipers Doors wide open A distant sigh of blizzard.

It would be wonderful indeed if we could kiss those We love and wake them from death like in fairytales..But yes life isnt like that ..The only hope to our despair is the afterlife.A sense of loss and pain in this emotion packed poem .Well done!!Charma

Thank you Charmaine for your generous comments. We must show our affection to the people who are in despair. We must give them support. Lord will definitely help us in our effort to help the afflicted souls. Love...rajat.

A great nice sublime poem very soulful. But what is it about?

Zaynub, it may be a death " hairs flying shroud" but there is plenty of scope for exploring other meanings. Please let me know. Bless. LOVE.....rajat
