Dressed in his best suit and tie
He sat on the wheelchair,holding a bouquet of roses
A long cherished dream that saw half a century go by
Only the roses were white and she,was in black
And the priest spoke of a peaceful after life rather than the journey of two hearts onto a single track.
Their eyes met as each surveyed the body,their fingertips had once grown so familiar to
He still saw the submissive look in her eyes of that night in the train
She still saw the passionate look in his,of those kisses in the rain
He had lost most of his teeth but she still remembered their bite
Her hair wasn’t silky anymore but he still remembered his hands glide
Their bodies might have lost color but love hadn’t lost its touch
Like a leaf preserved between pages remaining forever such.
Two hours had passed and innumerable conversations had been made
Not a word had been spoken but the pain of their souls had been conveyed
Tears rolled down again as it was time for yet another good bye
People around,oblivious,admired his love for the deceased ally.
The following day saw him at the Church again
Thanking the Lord for the previous day’s gain
Lit a candle and as per the routine wish,he’d say
“Lord,Don’t get me wrong but soon,please take another mutual friend away”.
– Aks

He wishes some mutual friend to die as such a funeral is the only opportunity he gets to see her again. I hoped it would also give a touch of humor,a bit of sadistic humor though to the poem.. Well, actually I just couldn’t think of any other ending, thus let it end this way.
Thank you so much for reading it ma’am! Truly means a lot to have you as one of my followers here! A very happy new year to you too ๐

It makes me so happy to read about my (in reality tiniest) contributions to your blogging experience,well actually it would be a lot more apt had I said that. After all, it’s all down to friends like you, who have been so kind and encouraging, that I have continued writing for the last couple of months and it truly has been an amazing and a very satisfying experience!
