Have to lose this mortal life one day

Rejoiced d' newspaper reading,

the pranayam was left behind

practiced d' pranayam in time,

unaware of d' news headlines

Did both, missed d' breakfast,

attempted all at a rapid pace

reckoned few to be left out,

and lastly lost my happiness

 

Missed d' taste in healthy food,

ate yummy dishes, health got lost

better not try them both together,

ought to survive well at any cost

 

Loved someone from d' heart,

the marriage faced disruption

honestly married for family life,

d' intimacy of love, withdrawn

Did both, had to lose the trust,

rather better not to set foot in

wild to achieve both together,

means thereby, lose something

 

If in a hurry, forget some luggage,

if no hustle in packing, miss d' train

an endeavor not to miss them both,

then the parting hugs to go in vain

 

If make certain of personal wishes,

then stamped as a selfish dragon

relations deranged, you're nowhere,

if think of others, own interest gone

Became marooned, feel deserted,

forgot the free laughter of all kind

if delight to d' brim, wished to weep,

no tears, weep emotion left behind

 

It evidently means thereby,

we often have to lose something

in d' disheartening missing spree,

lies the genuine joy of achieving

availed comforts of life to the full,

yet if someone never lost a thing

so rigidly upright man is a machine,

not designated as a human being


Give things, lose things, do donate

take d' glee, live with joy and gay

even if not lost anything to date,

have to lose this mortal life one day

Swear not to nag, never hound

Pillows on bed spick and span,

undisturbed the bed covers

but the beds worryingly empty,

not seen any signs of a brawl

 

Cupboards carry few pieces of cloth,

left only a faint smell of perfumes

their unique essence, all different

inhale it to heal my heart, I assume

 

Now I remember their mischiefs,

giggling, wailing tone, d' pretense

had the memory of their laughter,

d' hurried warm hugs, I could sense

 

Everything seems in place, no litters

no paper planes scattered on d' floor

d' calmness pinching to d' extreme,

home now a desert with no life at all

 

Swear on God, not to be annoyed,

about their mess not to discuss

every time the kids come to visit,

they spend a little time with us

 

When they are ready to leave,

casually start to pull their bags

they tug my heart along with it,

feel grim, as if I'll lose my sense

 

They closed d' door behind them,

and then I stood still, kept mum

recalled, several times I shouted

at them, not to keep d' doors open

 

I'm today closing my own doors,

nobody tries, opens it besides me

each has gone to a different city,

or might be to a far off country

 

Left to find their own path in life,

Oh! God pl. do take care of them

wherever they might be present,

be secured, and fit all my children

  

You, their guide and protector,

keep them shielded ever, safe

kids at this stage, sweet to talk to

provide me enough scope always

to cherish and enjoy it with joy,

should arrive often, stay around

not to leave d' home for only me,

swear not to nag, never hound
