Those We Love


                                             Those We Love

                                   Those we love don`t go away
                                   They walk beside us everyday,
                              Night after night they trail our dreams,
                               Often times in midst of our screams;

                                     In the solitude of the night 
                              The smiles of their sweet face ignite,
                             Smiles of love so sincere and straight,
                                Of love now lost to whims of fate;

                                 When we gaze at a mirror fair, 
                           Mirror where they oft dressed their hair,
                                   Their image before us appear 
                                  Without a single stamp of fear;

                                They seem to speak as still alive,
                              Care without them, how we survive
                                 Guide us along the rightful way,
                                More, during darkness of the day;

                              Their cute voice echoes in our ears
                                  As melodic music quite clear,
                                As sweet songs of larks on a tree
                                    As the waves of a silent sea;

                               When we gaze at a bright full moon
                                   We can eye our beloved soon;
                                Times reaching to hail their birthday,
                              They make their presence felt that day;

                                       From the cerulean clear sky
                                   Daily on us they cast their eyes,
                               From above, they transmit rose blooms
                                   To embalm for a while our rooms;

                                 At year`s end, dishes they relished,
                                  To be served as tokens, they wish,
                                      Their memories ever to shine
                                   In our mind till runs out our time;

                                  They wait on for our journey`s end
                                  The wrathful whims of fate to mend
                                    And yearn to meet us in the sky
                                  Just side by side with them to lie.

Effortless rhymes, beautiful flow throughout. Refreshing dear poet. 'They wait on for our journey`s end' line brought tears, so very delicate. Congratulations on your win. Cheers!!!

Thank you Triveni for appreciating the poem and for your kind wishes. I am sorry if the poem would have led you to shed tears. We are all temporary travellers in this world. At journey`s end we all have to quit this world without taking anything with us, except our good deeds. Wishing you a cheerful journey.
