I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया Love, Saru
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.

Like a puff of cigarette, like a sip of wine; They rise high, so high inside. Not one, not two, not even million can serve my appetite. *********** Words...hard to find, Words...deep they touch. Words...say few to me, Words...convey so much. Resting inside the quill with ink; Some white and some are dark. My eyes always lit up; When I shower them on your body parts. Orphan they feel, so read them loud. Few make you cry, few make you proud. Stubborn they are, will try to stay close. Be it in a poem or in a prose. A rainbow of alphabets, A miracle bestowed by literature. My spirits fly like an angel, When I write 'words' on paper. Image Source - www.3rdeyelens.com
