My Sweetie Is Back Poem by Sunil Algama

My sweetie is back

Four and half days elapsed
It was not too long
Or a short
However, a terrible silence
Haunted in my mind
I experienced it again
For the first time
After the untimely death
Of my beloved wife

It was a painful silence
Sour and monotonous
Gradually reaching for a torment
To destroy anybody

A technical fault
Of modern technology
Temporarily separated communication
Meanwhile
Two hearts continued
In worrying
The whereabouts
Of each other

My sweetie is back now
To share with me
Love and affection
No matter of how long
The distance between she and me

She did not ask for
Her heart back
Given to me to look after
I did not ask for
My heart back
Given her to look after

Instead, we take care of both
Feel happy and blissful
