Past Is Shadow, Never Follow Shadow Poem by mamutty CHOLA

PAST IS SHADOW, NEVER FOLLOW SHADOW

The very thought of my love's tear filled eyes
Reminds me of our last meeting together years ago.

She still resides within me like my soul, then why to
Weep for her separation.Soul is free from the bondage
of the body and can always be with my love.
Her smiles, caring look and concerns for me still alive.

When alone my heart becomes restless in the night
And yearns for her.I take shelter under the shade of
her ever loving and inspiring memory.

She still comes in my dreams and keeps assuring
me that she is still mine and only mine. And wants me to take care,
My love for her cannot be described in words
She was more than my own life but destiny willed it otherwise.

My patience and loneliness plead with me don't waste whole
Life waiting for shadow. Shadow is a shadow, they can't see me
suffer the never ending loneliness.Want me to start life with one
who cares and loves me for my sake so that they are liberated from
the sufferings of my soul.

They are right.I have been chasing illusion and been living in self delusion..There exists unbridgeable gulf between me and my lost love.
I have decided to follow the counsels of my patience and loneliness.

Now will start life afresh since no one can live alone during ones sojourn
on earth as God has created all creatures in pairs.
Oh my love, I am indeed indebted to you for your undying love for me
when we were together.I will keep those wonderful days alive deep down in the lush green valley of my heart.
I  will ever pray

Let your life be like a rose in the garden amidst
your loved ones
