When
each day
each hour
each moment
gave me the feeling
of destined for you
A strong realization of
of having you
in my stars
made me
to believe my fortune
and
I started seeing you
with closed eyes
That moment
I discovered myself
completely naked
but not diffident
shy but not ashamed
With inexorable madness in my heart
and beaming peace in my mind
I looked down
with melting breath
to hold your hands
within mine
I thought
these hands can wipe
even the darkness of night
and all will remain
is the golden rays of morning sun
warm and bright
But you suddenly
pull your hands out
Calmness of your voice
cut me into pieces
when you declared
salvation is your destination
I could not believe
my trust owe me fate of a roadside stone
Now
standing amid the road to salvation
that filled with
fear
to love and to be loved
to give and to accept
to keep and preserve promises
I am still searching
a way to go back
and hold you tight
Because I know
all pain ends
if you have a shoulder to weep
love ties knot between people….few people even in their seventies hold their loved ones hand so tightly and dare to embrace death…
And few are so afraid of death (responsibilities)…they searched a way to escape in the name of moksha
This poem Yasodhara (Buddha’s wife) is a trial to deliver feeling of those …..
