All At A Time: Poem by Amitava Sur
All At A Time:
My beloved, my closest
Suddenly some day,
Was lost in the garden of flowers,
Through it's misty narrow lane.
Such a lovely flower she was,
With her aura and fragrance.
Her presence was so charming -
As a sweet murmuring streamlet.
Her pleasant nature and the winning smile
Was mesmerizing and my source of life.
My beloved, my heart's closest-
Departed me amidst her life's mid-way,
The whole sky did fall on me
Unleashing the hell.
In a moment I lost - all at a time
With no meaning to live anyway.
She being as my daughter and friend -
My mother and my wife as well,
Losing my love from my life
In one go I lost - all at a time.
Do not know where my love is now -
Can't see her now anyway.
I search her in the night and day
In the meadows, desert or in the bay,
My beloved, my heart's closest
Departed amidst her life's mid-way.
Everything I have with me - but my beloved beside
Now I'm a poor beggar, like Midas the cursed king.
The cosmetics, wardrobe and all her belongings -
Are waiting eagerly to have a touch of her hand.
My beloved, my heart's closest
Departed amidst her life's mid-way,
In a moment I lost - all at a time
With no meaning to live anyway.

Great sadness in these words. These situations are incredibly tough and you have to get yourself out before you fall in. How ever hard it may be. i'm still climbing.
A very emotional write full of sad feelings and very haunting. Your beloved is gone and only good memories can sustain and lift you up. The sun will shine again one day. Keep looking up!
It's a very impressive poem. The reader becomes sad and that is the effectiveness of this poem.
A beautiful write with emotion and the the pricking of loss of beloved
Amitava, you describe so well what life is like after someone you've loved has died. Her beauty, your feelings for her, how she made you feel, how she was everything to you. All of her things, her belongings as she left them, your poignant sorrow is draped over everything in your life now. In one moment your life lost all meaning. Very well written poem, very intense, Amitava. Very good. RoseAnn
Your sense of loss is overwhelming and I believe overwhelms you. Losing a loved one is the hardest thing to accept and only time will heal.
Beautiful write with the depth of your love and the sadness you feel like echoes across a great canyon as wide and far reaching as your sense of loss!
