Farewell

Heart is heavy; tears brim-fill, like flood in a dam,
How could I hold you, though you've been my pure-lamb?
The world is a wheel; somewhere surely, we will meet,
May marvelous memories through your way, be sweet...!

These sky and clouds and landscapes, do terribly taunt,
Your absence betwixt blooms and trees, like wired ghosts, haunt;
The cliff on which you stood to gaze the universe,
Recite to me volumes of your poetic verse...!

Stars will now look for you in uttermost sorrow,
To steal a glance of your charm where will now moon go?
You walked and ran, with me in the race of life,
You had, ever, been my beauteous precious wife...!

Farewell most dearly darling, till we meet again.
Tough cruel is death, what by grabbing you, will gain?
My heart and mind, tough, in an agonizing pain,
Will the love and life we shared ever go in vain...?
