To See A Smooth End! Poem by Ramesh T A

Living life without suitable assistant retards progress;
Finding such an apt assistant after sometime is a boon;
Naturally, profession and pleasure prosper to prosperity
To one's life of desert till such an oasis is found out!

Decades of life going on in all phases of life for one
Surely will bring satisfaction to both in a fine state;
But who can dream of a dangerous parasite within one
Slowly killing one's life day by day unknown to one..!

Like a creeping plant when fully the parasite has taken
Control of a healthy body will soon lead to deterioration
In health in such a way suddenly the beautiful assistant
Has to undergo a major operation to remove the parasite!

When the better-half succumbs to demise after a prolonged
Treatment in hospital, What can one do to pull on the days?
Reality of life has to get a blend in the dream of the
Beloved only to pass all nights and days to see smooth end!
