Violin and Guitar
countless years of toil took toll on his health,
cruel poverty ravaged his handsome looks,
beloved wife fell sick, closed her tired eyes,
only friend remaining the dearest violin..
and little chirping birdie in cage for comfort!
gifted musician kept on playing
the best tunes he created in his life…
charming melodies from his tender childhood,
endearing family, beautiful cottage
beside a murmuring brook, humming songs
amidst the lap of magnificent nature!
when glorious golden love blossomed
like a ruby red rose at teenage years,
dainty beautiful damsel held his hands,
together they imagined of a peaceful life,
with love and music, Violin and Guitar !
life didn't work out the way they fondly dreamed,
poverty, hard work, painful diseases...
bitter sadnesses of the real world,
finally the soulmate departed, leaving
him behind lonely with a heavy heart!
sound of Violin still enchants the empty space,
tiny Koel from the hills, the intent listener !
