Memory

I am being haunted 

By the soul-shattering memory 

Of my beautiful mother

Who left me alone on this Earth

And went to the heaven

To lead a blissful life...

Even for a nanosecond

She didn't think of me

Being repeatedly oppressed 

She took her departure without objection

I couldn't do anything to protect her

Today my tears are the only stuff

To show my love for her

When I am being thrown the food

I am reminiscing her rebukes to eat more

When I am lying on the lonely bad 

I am commemorating 

Her warm touch and beautiful stories

When I am forced to work

I desperately miss your opposition

Mom!

Don't worry about me

Where you are, try to cherish your life.

In your beautiful house

Strangers have taken your place

All are happy

But I can't be...

A garland is hanging on your photo

That's the only hope for me

To assuage my grief

Mom!

Please try to come back

If it is not possible

Then shower your blessings to erase

The painful memories from me

And give your affection to confer strength

So that I can digest the soul-shattering 

Moments...
