"From deep within my heart I always catch the scent of my Beloved. How can I help but follow that fragrance?" Quote By _ Rumi
Once we were a happy pair of doves
Seeking warmth under each other’s wings
By sundown, we flew to our little nest
In our sweet space, we sought easeful rest
Even when the Earth’s in full glory
Now I bide alone, dull and dreary
Oh! Dear! Why have you so hurriedly left me?
Was it to make me drift in this turbulent sea?
We have known life’s depth and worth
Each morn, for us was love’s rebirth
We walked close to paths supernal
And lived ever in love eternal
I have lost the rhyme n’ rhythm of life
I see the world around with sorrows rife
I, a broken reed far beyond repair
With no songs to be played now or ever
Each flower recalls to me your sweet grace
The wind tossed petals remind me of your sad face
On silent nights the fragrance of your hair
Comes wafting, and for a while, I feel you near
A boundless emptiness now fills my space
The question –‘What next’ stares at my face
Yet never shall I falter, but shall endure my fate
Hoping, we shall meet at Heaven’s Rainbow Gate
