A LOOK AT LIFE - 41

I know not

how to live without you,

how can I die 

when are you not around?

My love! be there

with all your passion and grandeur

till I breathe my last in your lap and

lose me in you forever.

It seems

since time immemorial

we are with each other

but time has come for

one to bid farewell 

to the other.

The single entity we are,

a single pair of eyes to

look at the world, a single heart

a single pair of ears to feel life

and smell its fragrance.

All along I am with you,

feeling me in you

and you in me,

enjoying and enduring each moment

of our joy and sorrow.

It aches when a single entry

cuts into halves,

the soul is made to leave the body.

It deeply pains when you

leave the special one you love

all alone

to fight the battle of life

on his own.

You know

I can not live without you

but you can live

though there will be

hardly any life in you.

In between you and me

there is a thread of love

which will be there

when I will be no more

that love and longing

will make your pain endure 

and let my vermilion shine 

with all its colour.

Be sure my love! 

I am always yours

always with you

forever,

here and hereafter
