Lovers Die But Love Never Dies! ! ! Poem by Saravana Kumar

Every day after his work, he carries a rose in his hand,
tears rolling down from his eyes are pounding the sand,
with shoulders sinking, he walks into a cemetery near by,
the reality hasn't hit him yet, for he thinks it is all a lie.

Although reluctant to go, he is pushed by the wind behind,
and every step he takes, brings only her face to his mind,
with his feelings fluttering like those leaves on the ground,
this musical hymn reminds of her sweet mesmerizing sound.

It has been little over a year since you have been buried,
since then everyday an ocean of memories are being carried,
living alone is really too painful but there is nothing i can do,
other than wait for the day when once again i'll be with you.

Everyone seems to be racing against time, but i'm still here,
i can feel your presence, b'coz your whispers even today i hear,
i do not want to leave the place, where once you danced around,
in every tree, in every path, your presence can be still found.

For him, she is all that you can ask the almighty to give,
he wanted to share every moment as long as he could live,
but as with every good thing that ends before it's time,
she did leave him alone and committed that sinful crime.

Everyday before work, she used to tell him to get a rose,
even today he gets her one, for she is still very close,
although he keeps the roses on her grave and not on head,
deep down his heart, she is very much alive and not dead.

Lighting a candle, he kisses the name written on the stone,
and keeps mumbling, as if he is talking to her over the phone,
placing the rose, he tries to wake her from her eternal sleep,
she doesn't respond to his cries as she is lying down deep.

Near or far, Heaven or earth, true love never leaves our heart,
it becomes one with our soul and leaves only when we depart,
days will go by, and so are the years as one's time flies, but-
one whisper will always say 'Lovers Die But Love Never Dies'
