As The Years Gone Poem by Akham Nilabirdhwaja Singh

As The Years Gone

Rating: 5.0


Sailing long the boat
a long distance I covered.
Yet the blitz wind drifted me miles back
when tired,
limbs became weak.
How can I sail again
such a distance?


I defied,
How my value depreciated
like an old dilapidated house
but of no avail.

It is by their wand,
The small amounts I saved
in those long years
found so much reduced
leaving a little
sufficient for a few days.
