Those Who Leave Never Turn Up Poem by mamutty CHOLA

Our lives are like water of bubble
Not a second is in our control

Our trusted friends left
One by one from the world

Some elder and some junior
With whom good old days were
spent together

The beautiful plan we had drawn up
For self together
Neither our dreams nor they remain
Now Left alone

I often think when alone what is this life,
We come and go to the kingdom of unknown

As long as we are alive in this world
Soul and body live for each other
What a strange relation between body and soul
While alive despite living together but still separate

Soul says body is a prison but this
Accusation of soul is incorrect
Body says having given shelter for life

Every believer believes there will be
Meeting between body and soul on
The day of judgement

Those who leave never turn up
Their memories keep hounding us

It is a matter of regret; memory
Is the co-traveler of loneliness
And not a source of living
