Just in case you find this world
just too much a burden for you -
Desperate moves for reconciliation
uninvited guests, the unending list
Of old phone numbers, anniversaries
appointment diary, mandatory
Office time kiss, the routine pills
when lengthening shadows become frightening -
You can always, my dear, find the path,
always come back to me.
Just in case you find life just
a meaningless pursuit for you -
Frantic rush to kindergarten,
the cutlery, toilet, then getting late
For the nine-fifteen, the ten to five
and rushing back, the evening
Parties, sleepless nights, when tomorrows
lacerate you in your dreams -
You can always, my dear, hark back a while,
and revive certain memories.
Just in case you find it alone
in this vast, vast world around you -
Despite the teeming streets, the Sunday parks,
the familiar laughter of college day
Acquaintances, droll bedroom talks
the empty tea cups invading
Your afternoons - though far away sure,
you can share your silent reveries -
Just in case the far away stars
seem oblivious of you.
Life is all about what we make of it. Always has been and always will be! ! !
Wonderful diction and seemingly convincing thematic brilliance are the hallmarks of this poem. You have come here late.But soon you will be conquering our hearts dear Dr Tapan Kumar.

Life can be very hectic and full of things to do, people to talk to, bills to pay, functions to attend, children to rear. Is there no time for me? Take a little time out for yourself and enjoy life. For life is short! Good write.
