Kash Poet Poet Rhyme

When Her Brave Son's Coffin Arrived

She kissed her dead son's face
cold,pale,white and lifeless,
then started talking to him
as if he was alive,
or her words would revive
him,from his deep sleep it seemed;
her blank vision looking
past this cruel scorching
moment,for a fading dream.




**In memory of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan.Google this brave son of India.
The newsclip was so heart wrencing..it still haunts me.
