Cry not for me....

Desperate......they say

Desperate......I am

And the answer to all perplexities,

That the circumstances create is...

I'm going to die.

With few days left,

Or umpteenth moments I have

I wish to live...

A million lives.

And all of ye...below the skyscape

Quit gazing the stars

For I'm yet to die
And I'm yet to shine.

Unless my heart stops beating

And my eyes, perceiving

I'm not gonna relinquish..

I'll persist my fight.

"Fight",you would say..

Is the fight for life

"No", my answer

Coz it's a fight for lives.

And now, I'm lying down..beneath the clouds

In the spring air...counting my last breaths

Fight.......lost

Dreams......shattered

Story.......ended

Betrayed by life??

I look around with hazy eyes

And see her coming close to me

Her face....glowing more than the sun

Eyes.....envying even the brightest of all stars

Oh! Those beauties in the form of dimples...fading in the pain

And the silver in her hair....shining more than ever

Wish I could live some more moments, love!

To spend those time in thy arms

And breathe thy love..this very last time.

For thy heart's my temple

Thy arms...my paradise

Thy words...my Bible

Thy love...my life!!

On the eyelids lie...all the droplets of memories

And deep inside the teardrops...rising from her eyes

Is where the flashback starts

Eyes....mesmerised

Words....unspoken

Feelings....unexpressed

Life....to its dusk!!

Gazing deep into her eyes...

As the flashback proceeds...

Is how I sleep...

FOREVER....

Cry not for me, love!

For freedom they say

Is what they search all their life

So, free I am..from all the sufferings

This life behold...

But free I can't be from thy love....
