SMOULDERING HOPES

The mounts are no more olive,
The clouds are no more cherished,
The winds are no more soothing,
The fragrance of earth is no more pleasing,
Your reminiscences with us are everlasting.

Look at your empire of gloom and doom,
Your dearth has made all of us orphans,
Hearts dissolved away eyes swamped of tears,
We drank sour tears and ate dreadful grief,
Our hearts are blazing in the inferno of agony.

Submerged in the ocean of endless tears,
Your death is the most bitterest of all deaths,
We carried you in our hearts for the humility,
You broke our hearts and flew into the skies for eternity,
We stare into the sky for your likeness amid the stars.

Are you looking at the moist eyes and swollen faces?
Why did you love us so much with your presence?
Why are you cursing us so bad with your absence?
Were you born to serve us till your last breath?
Is there any house that hasn’t shed tears for you!

The undeniable man of Million hearts,
The unbreakable bond you have made with us,
The unshakable name that rings in every ear,
The unbeatable glory of your legacy for ages,
The unique smile glowing for million years,

My lips are shivering as I have no more courage,
Whispering these broken words of throbbing pain.
Like the sun you went down never to ascend again,
Like the moon you shine never to be reached again,
Days are somber and nights appalling without you.

Look at my eyes flowing out silver streams,
Look at my cheeks soaked in sweat and tears,
Look at my lips tasting the pungent grief,
Look at my palms holding tears gazing at your reflection,
Are you there to smother my cry?

My soul howls thinking of you,
My mind wails for missing you,
I have strained my heart to accept the truth,
You closed eyes forever,
Made my eyes pour forever.

Rajanna this is not made out of words,
But poured my tears into words.
