Never Relationship Ends Poem by Ratnakar Rout

The midday was hot like a frying pan
I saw that day a gorgeous lady
standing on the deserted bus-stop alone
might be in wait to catch her home bound tram
or waiting somebody to arrive to fetch her from there
I looked at her from a distance and strangely got attracted
at the very moment but preferred to stay away from her sight
Next day she was found again standing there
under the scorching hot sun in that lonely hour
Usually during that time I used to take a break from my work
and go for having the launch in my home nearby
There after I saw her every day on that place
while passing by that desolate road waiting
for someone or the bus to arrive in utter desperation
I went on observing her daily movement there
and that recollected me the companionship
I was enjoying with someone for several years
One day the nomadic torrential rain was very cruel
It was almost raining like cats and dogs in that after-noon
The stranger lady was standing under the heavy down pour
and looking helplessly here and there for a shelter but in vain
I could not resist myself but to volunteer
to render her immediate necessary help
When I came closer to her to my utter surprise
She was none other than that some one
who was very close to my heart once
the dearest companion and true guide
during the formative days of my life.
