I Am Not Alone


Last year blessed me,
He walked silently into my life.
It was Love,
That took me in its stride.
One evening we walked holding hands,
Then, I told him what I felt in heart.
He said we were one soul,
Who were living in parts.
To bring the parts together,
We fought with the world and tied the knot.
Being one soul,
Gave life a whole new spot.
Chirping birds, floating clouds,
Nature conspired for us.
Always swimming against the tide,
Life was in an adrenaline rush.
This year cursed me,
He walked silently out of my life.
It was Death,
That took him in its stride.      

Yesterday his soul was saying,
Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on.
He will stay and admire me,
Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.

  1. this is nice but one question why is that majority of your poems are on sad side of emotion??

    ReplyDelete
  2. It's your understanding about the philosophy of life that generates emotions.Your deep emotions are impressive and touching.

    Please, find time to visit my blog.

  36. Wow! That was good. The rythm was excellent, the imagery was good.
    "Chirruping birds, floating clouds..." Pretty good. I also liked the impact of
    "It was love
    That took me in its stride"
    and then
    "It was death
    That took him in its stride"
    Amazing you used the emotions created before and then changed the flow with that one line
    Good work

    ReplyDelete
  37. He will stay and admire me,
    Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.

  39. कविता खरच खूप छान झाली आहे. तरीही rhyming words ची पेरणी केल्यास तिचं सौंदर्य अधिक खुलून दिसेल.
    तुमची परवानगी न घेता तुमच्या कवितेचं स्वैर मराठी भाषांतर करून मी माझ्या ब्लॉगवर टाकलं आहे. पुन्हा असा करणार नाही. पण भाषांतर आवडलं तर नक्की कळवा.

  40. Hi Saru ~ this poem is so beautifully happy and then so beautifully sad ~ I do hope it is not from a personal experience ... I really loved it & I'll definitely be back to read more! Thanks for sharing :-)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Oh nice poem but seems you are sad , who left? Him?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Very well written Saru. The gift of good expression in few word is not bestowed on everyone, it is a poet's privilege. Nourish it and keep using it, that is what it is meant for:)

    ReplyDelete
  43. i loved the concept... starts and ends with a simple but momentous not, i just think the ending line could have been better, explaining why love took it, saying maybe like "death was jealous, so it took it in its stride" i would have loved that...

    but saying thta... u have this power, i dont know how but u have this power to say just simple lines and say so many things, i get ur emotion now, i get it... and i have to say wow... WOW... that was an amazing end... i love it... i really do... awesome effort ya really... :) :D

    I loved the last lines though completely... its like ur signature which leaves with a thought for the reader's mind :)


    take care and keep writing...........

  70. i believe in two mortals having the same soul. it hurts when i read the poem, again and again. it reminds me of myself.

  71. Epilogue...

    In vain we roared; in vain we tried
    To rouse her into laughter,
    Her pensive glances wandered wide
    From orchestra to rafter -
    "Tier upon Tier" she said, and sighed;
    And silence followed after
    .....Melencholetta

  72. Very touching,i feel for you.It's good to ofload emotions through writing.In a way it grants catharsis. But then it also makes one morose &lengthens the suffering.Do you agree?
