Poem

“Though grief burdens one, it may lessen in time. But like an ember it keeps smoldering and from time to time, may grow into flames, burning inside”
                                                                                 ~By Poet

Nothing remains
of a life lived together
in a world, once so full of beauty

Nothing remains		
of those lovely evenings,
we rambled along the quiet country paths

Nothing remains of the twilight dusks
we listened to the invisible choir
singing for us in the descending dark

Nothing remains
of the whirlwind of love
when we rocked in gyrating motion

Nothing remains 
of those blissful nights
we slept in each other’s warm embrace

Nothing remains
of the sweat we shed
to make a nest n’ feed our fledglings

Nothing remains
of the time tarried in anticipation
of our birdies returning to our nest

Nothing remains 
of the times we dreamt 
of magic kingdoms beyond our hills

Nothing remains 
when existence was but a lovely dream
and from joy to joy uninterrupted we flew

Nothing remains
after the lid of the coffin shut
and my Love wheeled on a hearse!

How quickly life slid off its track
to immeasurable distances n’ spaces
landing me in an abyssal pit

How a winter of benumbing snow
has nudged its way
into every crack and cranny of my life

Now, I live a phantom under this roof
with awful memories barging in 
like the marauding thieves!

How I search in vain
for those footprints, you have left
in the weed grown paths of my life

How I long to wash away
my grief in a surge of tears
trickling down my eyes 

But Alas!
I cannot cry
My eyes are dry!
