Aftershocks Of Parting

I rankle the day you drifted away from me,

With a sneer and scoff you went away,

And left me lonely on the vast & spacious earth!

Can there be anything crueler than dearth & loneliness?

Few were the words to you I spoke with intent & conviction,

For I was lost in the deep affliction of parting & segregation,

I wept and wept but in solace & comfort, there was none!

Sure that day it wasn't my dawn that emerged,

But confident was I always that my dawn will enter at your coming,

Sadly neither you came nor my dawn emerged till date!
