Without You Poem by Rajkumar Mukherjee

WITHOUT YOU



with you I can traverse
the most difficult terrain of life
I can tide over the vagaries
of our daily chores with winning note

I can withstand my ground
against the most turbulent storm
I can hold on to the lighted lamp
with which we started our journey
twenty five years ago


the oath taken and the love
binds us together forever


we have become so much attached
that we can’t dream of a day without the other
it ‘s like fish out of water
leaves without oxygen

we watch replays of our youth
in the growth of our children
in their behaviour their semblance
in our thinking of bygone days



as we never came together
we know no one can assure
our journey together to oblivion
