Memory

After cooking
standing in the door ...
looking for little footprints
I am waiting for you ...

The pan in the kitchen
is still hot ...
waiting to serve you
the best we both have made ...
Don't know ! how long ?

The seeds you sow
waiting for you ...
thanking you for giving birth 
to those little plants ...
they send healing fragrance 
in absence of you ...

I have locked 
the tears in Eyes ...
because I know,
you don't like me crying...

I wont cry 
till last breath 
just because 
you should not hate me
when I will leave the world ...
along with your memories ...
