Dying Ma Poem by RUP POKHAREL

Dying Ma

Rating: 5.0


All you have are in stock-still state
I can see you ma breathlessly lying flat
All bygone flashes are limited in mind
Now thy twin round black ball does not see me
Mamma! Thy progeny arrived-late.

Maker may be blamed for early taking_
I could not beg pardon,
Nor could quid pro quo made
For shaping and making me of the day.

Your pious ceding bestowed upon_
Has helped me fit in all holes,
You gave ample sleepless nights
To make me gain absolute sound sleep,
Shared pap and suckled thy breast
Enhanced immune to right degree
My body can fight for long the pathogens.

I, thy progeny made thy lap my playground
Polluted thy clean wear- although- unknowingly.
As now, with soul your body is no more with us
Thank Him, for making being of the type,
You did respect his law-thy deeds immortal
For- God cannot be everywhere so he made Mothers,
And so are you- Ma!

Rup this is a very heart touching poem and a very sensitive issue. Even though u r poem was good it was hard for me to accept it. but a nice work.

With the old-fashioned language, this comes across as a kind of prayer to the mother, which is quite appropriate. You might like to look at my 'Driving on Auto-pilot', about my own mother's death.
