Why Do I Always Smile? Poem by mamutty CHOLA

WHY DO I ALWAYS SMILE?
Oh love! Our separation was destined to happen.
Destiny separated us like gone tine; never
to unite we are now like two banks of a river
which can never meet!


Days passed, months passed, years passed all in
endless wait.When I look at the setting sun in the
west, I realize am at the twilight of my sojourn on
earth.

Oh love; how to express my sense of loss, abyss and
vacuum in life without you being my side in the
lonely journey of forlorn. Even the lonely nights are
tired of my company.They go to sleep living me
alone in the rest of night.

In utter despair I wander in lonely deserts amidst
shifting dunes at the mercy of the velocity of
the stormy wind, no shelter, no shade and no refuge.

When sitting alone in solitude happened to glance at
an old letter of my love. When opened found it blank
with marks of tears dots symbolizing her helplessness

Oh my love I lived a life without you which was
impossible to live still I lived with your loving memory.
with smile. Yes, I have kept that promise made to you.
In reality you took away my smile as token of love while
parting! ! For that reason when with friends I smile a lot.
When they ask inspiration for my smile.I think of you and smile.
