A New Year Surprise

A NEW YEAR SURPRISE  
1.There is a one
   Who has deleted you.
   Not at a random
   But a name after name!
   You will know him
   Since he is not calling again.
   He put your name in the  sack of odd names
   And set fire on them.
   But your name is still there 
   Since it is a prime number
   Not divisible by Jane, Mary or Lucy.
   No woman interchanges with you!
   Lost in the ocean 
   Of his new love
   He might have been 
   Swallowed by sharks of love
   Or thronged by crocodiles
   In the abyss of the ocean
   In a Cimmerian darkness!
   He is sobbing solemnly 
   And think to retreat back.
   You who had known him before,
   Had nursed him
   Had felt all his feelings
   Once a time
   Before he deleted you,
   Make a surprise to that one.
    
 2.Tell him a few words.
  “ I hope  you still breath-in  somewhere.
    But I sense 
    Like seeing you 
    In a terrific gale,
    In windy storm of a dark ocean!
    I sense like,
    A female whale 
    Has swallowed you alive.
    It is like
    You’re in the jaws
    Of a treacherous mother-sharks!
    You breath no more but so little!
    Please baby,
    I had known you before,
    I can still sense your impulses
    Tickling my nerves,
    And right here,
    Even now,
    I can hear you crying aloud
    In agony.
    Handle tenderly
    This my new year greeting
    And be confident 
    You can swim back!
    On the beach you will find me,
    On that shelly coral rock
    Where we used to sit before 
    And where you once lost my ring.
    I keep my eyes
    On these coming waves
    That,
    Once they wash the beach,
    There you will arise!
    SORRY BABY!
    Happy new year to you!"
