Redeem Poem by Rajkumar Mukherjee

Redeem



REDEEM


Can you ever forgive me

For my lapses

For my failures

To achieve the heights

Others made with ease


Can you ever forgive me

For my laziness

For my shyness

That made the difference

Of what I am today


Can you ever forgive me

For my truthfulness

For my unselfishness

This stopped me being

Where the others stay


Can you ever forget me

For my unblemished love for you

For my un-flinched protection

The day I fought for you

Alone on the roads of Berlin


Can you ever forget me

For my poems that touched your heart

The roots of which lie in you

Only words are woven by me

All of them rise to praise you


Can you ever forget me

That there was a humble soul

Who fought for his rights

Rights of the people

And spent half of his life in jail


Can you ever forgive me

For all the sufferings caused to you

During last twenty years

Due to mistakes, they say

Perpetrated by me


have you ever thought of it

what could happen

with your forgiveness

the world becomes a green pasture

flowers bloom in the trees

and we redeem our lost love
