In Midst Of Your Smiles Poem by Praveen Kumar In Shobha Priya

I know how hard you fought
And rose and fell with the cusps of fate
To reach all those who waited for you;
But you sank in the turbulent waves,
Never to rise and see us again.


I fell and rose always with you
And waited to grab when you surface again
And hide you in the deep crevices of my soul,
From where no odds snatch you from me;
But, alas, all of sudden, you stopped rising again.


Only if you rise to the surface once,
I never allow you to part again
And we rise and fall as one forever.


Life is a joy in midst of your smiles
And the world, a playground of contented souls;
But, alas, you just vanished from my world
And brought darkness and shattered my life;
The gulf, the fate laid is too wide for us
And your tender wings no more carry you across.
