Miserey Poem by Anuj Tikku

Today I lost the one who loved me dearly
To catch a glimpse of his cold dead body
Streaks of blood mark his lips
As his body lies on the floor
Why me as if to ask
I was just being a father doing my task
Now I am left all alone
With my misery I sit and moan
Tied in chains by an inhuman act
I have never felt so helpless in fact
the moans from my endless weeping
of days gone by without sleeping
memories of years gone by
as I remember them and take a sigh
the first question I ask is why
letters that I had written to him
albums of old songs that we use to sing
an old wedding ring
photo's of holidays jointly taken
his old coat that now I pack
to give it to urchins on the street
he was amongst us but no more
as the sound of his silence grows
