Life persists

The inhospitable aloof 

Shying away.

Life yet

Marching  up

As far as green.

Unfortunately It Happened by Ramakant Pande

The flutter in the heart,
the lovely uneasiness,

The love we shared,

That you believed was the only truth

we had ever known,
Was it conditional,
that just one day
out of my prejudices
and my inability to be human,

In just those few moments, 

In those few words

I without thinking,

Uttered the stupid me.

That to you

They meant all they could,

And I, the animal in me,

I unfortunately, I hurt you.

How many were those words,

Those moments
what fraction was their intensity

As compared to the words and moments

We had shared and
come to love each other

After waiting decades

For us to connect.

Could those words have been more harsh
than those intense moments
we had shared and believed 
that we were meant for them
to be together.

How can you forget our togetherness?

As if it was but

Just froth and bubbles,
that grow

And then disappear
for ever leaving no trace
of their being at all.

What of the

I won't 
ever let you go
you are mine
together we are one.

Did all those powerful emotions you exuded
that made me eventually 

Were so shallow

As to turn me back
to a desolate me?
Abandoned, destined
to be alone again 
just like I was

Before you came into my life.

Is my life now to be,
I wonder,
the same like it used to be
A burden on my body,

Pushing it around
like a forced labour
hinging around the fear of death!

Come on my saviour
lift me out of this deep morass
like you did every morning

Just as you woke me up

From your dreams.

Come back my love

If you still believe me

All I can say is
I am sorry!
