This Is Our Last Parting Handshake 2011 Poem by sundaram chandrakalaadhar

this our last parting handshake,2011

&

this is our last parting handshake-

there is absolutely no chance of meeting you,

31.12.2011 and 2011

when you fade into the dim tunnels of ' time '

you had spoken to me through the skies

the wind, the sun, the water, the stars

and the earth which bears all my atrocities-

you had been kind to me, harsh at times,

you had wept with me and heartily laughed also-

you had punished me for my wrong-doing;

at times for nothing on my part-

i had my successes and great downfalls;

overall it had been a lasting friendship!

is it your death now

or the rest into the dusty chambers of history?

wear this pearl of my tear-dropp around your heart

as you slowly fall into your deep rest-

i leave you in intolerable pain

as i have no chance of meeting you ever in life!
