You Linger***** Poem by malini kadir

You Linger

You Linger in the heart
Then how do you not expect?
For you lived more there
Than in my twenty four hours
I pick my pans and pots
And walk about my life
Each solitary moment
You fly into my thought
Life may ebb away
Times may change
You too might
But love has its own might
Then as my tears linger
I long to hear your voice
This thirst in me
Remains you see
Twilight and joys
Came and waded by
True responsibilities made me sigh
But somewhere out in your own way
You share my burdens with me
I smile to thank the Lord
As I cuddle my pillow
Falling asleep slow..........
