Shadows Of Sunset Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

Why it seems so far now?
The distance I have traversed,
Easily, casually, routinely,
Year in and year out,
Now appears like a chasm
That's so difficult to cross,
An end so hard to wander off
And impossible to reach!
Why it seems so far now?
Your heart from that of mine,
The voyage that was so frequent
Reaching, touching and feeling you,
Now appears like an abstraction
That's so difficult to imagine,
A gulf such terribly vast
That even my dreams can't span!
Why it seems so far now?
The path that I have traversed
Appears frustratingly incomprehensible,
Things so familiar not making sense,
Replaced by a void from deep inside
That puzzles at every known thing,
Love becomes a dark alley
Where I'm doomed never to find my way!
