165.The Big Bang Reverberations Poem by rajagopal haran

Hey darling! It’s me your sweetheart
I know now that it would be the last time
I will be leaving home once for all
Would love to give a hug and kiss!

Dusty air whirling around
Heat waves all permeating
Peculiar silence that clinches tight the soul
My ashes menace the graveyard space!

Searching for my dreams those
Were prisoners in my skull!
Now the debris of a crumbled palace
Bore open as scentless ashes!

Is it the husk that sealed a million thoughts?
Withered without sprouting ever
Turning into ashes germinating none
A century’s journey turns prey to fire!

Tomorrow was not promised to me
Today was all I could get
Wished to say how much I loved you
Alas! I never knew today would be incomplete!

Didn’t I take that extra time
for a smile, a word and embrace so sweet?
I was too busy chasing the mirage
My last wish shall remain for ever!

Time was not there to say, “ I am sorry “
Now time has come for you to forgive me
My words are there, unable to reach you
Adding to my wish list that will ever remain void!
