A Sudden Jolt

Wednesday, February 21, 2018 Ramzan Karim, Darjeeling. +91-85096549585 A sudden jolt This is a tale about a cluster of hopes and burgeoning despair Tossing and toasting flinging blankets Wiping rolling down tears with his sleeve Countless hours flew by this wakeful stormy night She has been ill lying in hospital for days and days Dying or still has few more breaths Brings her sweet face before his eyes Ever caring, faithful, innocent and simple The tenderness and warmth of her hug He always began his day With greeting of her sweet smile and a hot bed tea Her hands always busy tiding his household Without a grumble or gripe Shared his grief and sorrow as if her own Shouldered braved the fate’s storm Today lying in her bed helpless ignored Withdrawn and far from the warmth of his embrace Parting still without remorse or guilt ; He frowns, sulks, struggles juggling his mind Perspiring, breathing heavily For days he is dreaming Waiting for that eventual day Will that pretty girl with dashing personality, he met in the mall? Accepts his proposition after She is dead ?
