Dirge Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

As a person
Wonderful stuff
Well turned-out
Well-groomed
Full of life
Scholarly
Straightforward
A spirited youth
All praises for
Fall short
And deficient.

Uncommon
Human being
Firm
And resolute
Not to set
Or lay down
Any other goal
Or dream about
A new dream
Substituting
His love
Meant for
His beloved.

Love affair
Of a person
Isn’t to be
An association
Or a sheer
Relationship
Plain
For he views
Something
Much more than.

But,
The big shot
Hurting
Inside of him
Inside his heart
That he couldn’t
Have
His beloved one
In his arms
As free souls
To feel affection.
