22. Impregnable Bond Poem by Praveen Kumar in Simply Yours

Memories fade, thoughts recede,
Emotions evaporate like evening sunlight,
A dull ache of stillness pervades
And life wobbles in uncertainties of heart
While we keep away so long from the other.

You flooded my soul, mind and whole
By breaching barriers big and small
And instilled as sole focus of soul
Day and night yourself at my deepest core
Only to fade and recede at this hour?

Distances do drive wedges of unconcern,
Breach bridges, snap ties, dwindle emotions,
But not us, we, bound beyond horizons;
Time takes its toll, but not basic roles,
Our bond is intact, deep, strong and tall.

I dig, dig deep to trace you, my Queen,
But, alas, it is smoke, mere gray smoke,
I find, I land on in lieu, when I look around;
I wonder where have receded and gone
Those intense ripples of pains and joys.

Those lovely frames of lily memories,
Those sweet waves of devout thoughts
As distant dreams now orphan my soul,
And I freeze in pounding sharp ache
In the dreary pit of deep desolation.

I want to reach wherever you are,
Renew memories and intense thoughts
And pack our souls in tight embrace,
That no time or distance ever dare
To part you from me, and me from you.

Memories and thoughts are mere flames
Of the impregnable bond that entwines us;
While you are in me and I am in you
As each other’s essence, core and soul,
How anything can ever set us apart?

Come, my darling, come to me,
Come, embrace, and dissolve in me,
And I, forever, dissolve in you;
Let memories fade, thoughts recede,
We stay forever dissolved in the other.
