Ugly are you with tearful eyes The tears that never forded my cheeks As did yesterday,too stubborn to stop Perhaps the second it is that my eyes Like a morning rose in a dewy garden Got a burial under flowing salted water As if, it makes me a lifeless brute Because they hugged and pressed me hard With tearful eyes they stared at me To convey something hard to digest My heart pains to see them weeping Expressed my heart the agony slyly Through the tears like a day rainy Not same blood run through all Nor are they my kith and kin We know it all, it is a relation With a deep feeling that grew tall Stepped they back with a sobbing silence After murmuring me a quivering ‘good-bye’ Now only silence speaks everywhere In every room,every corner far and near Unused articles left by them lay there Empty are the rooms, I find each time But the odd breaths of invisible occupants Pacify for a while my perturbed brain Only loneliness beckons me with a smile Teaching me a hard lesson consciously It is another part of cruel life.
