Since from your life,
I stubbornly departed,
Your craggy face,
Was perennially creased
With a simulated half smile…
It is the trace of time,
And you should know,
That my feelings for you
Turned like dried leaves
Carried away by the turbulent wind…
My once tender caresses
Spreading like a wildfire,
All over your shaking body
Are now, sadly, forever gone,
It is time for me to sing a new song…
My rejuvenated heart,
Still as soft as cotton,
And my mind as strong as steel,
Have set new boundaries
For me, patiently to follow…
No more tears or heartfelt pain,
Or desperately looking for you
Through the dusty hills
Or my own shadow or dreams…
Now, seeing things in different ways,
And going at my own pace,
To cast a new and brighter light,
Through destiny's highway...

Or my own shadow or dreams… Now, seeing things in different ways, And going at my own pace, To cast a new and brighter light, Through destiny’s highway….ya nothing stops at anybody's loss and life goes on finding new ways and means to hang on.. it is real life and we should not cling to, it.. it is destiny that awaits us and we should know the bare fact.... lovely poem 10 read mine....smile....i miss.. anywhere. mary to marry...
