Separation
Five years have passed since last I saw that smile,
When childhood left the beauteous ground of life,
A mellow change walked on the body's aisle,
A boulevard with blossomed cherries rife.
With growing eld first-ever joys are gone,
No more I see you often as before,
Yet somehow I have learnt to carry on,
If faint hope fails, nonchalance can restore.
No shades even peeped on my woeful cheek,
I am ensconced in claustrophobic rooms,
Here memories flashing by appear so bleak,
That in subconsciousness frail pleasure dooms.
Now patiently I'll wait for your rebirth,
From relics old I glean both grief and mirth.
