My Mate Poem by R.K. NAIR.

Oh yes my mate, I know thee,
I know that you have come for me.
For all these years I wanted to leave,
but then, only you could let me sleep.
Now when I see my distant light,
I feel weariness in my sight.
All this time I wanted to sleep,
but now you've come, I wish to breath.
My eyes wet as I have to say goodbye,
to my angel who all her life stayed by.
I wonder as I see my son cry,
who would say to him my goodbye.
My friends and foes mourn for me,
but then again I feel weary.
