A Blank Page of My Diary

"I never travel without my diary,one should always have
 something sensational to read........Oscar Wilde,1891



               Date:04/10/2011

                           A
                   blank page
                   of my diary
                 kept asking me
            why it was left blank?
            As I opened the page
         I saw many painful words
        written all over it with tears,
    that was the day my father left us;
   never did I try to write on that page
for I wanted to keep that page truth-white
  sometimes I write not with ink but tears
        it is the best ink to write pain;
         I open that white page now
           and shed two drops of tear
             which fall down below
                  mingle with tears
                       and dilute 
                         my old
                           pain.
