Through the broken ribs,
It comes,
Within the walls of my heart,
The fallen leaves of Autumn weep,
As I pine for you...
Mother...!
Shedding tears to water the withered,
I bear the unveiled truth,
Winter in your pale eyes,
Piercing my thatched roof,
You lie dead,
As if,
A cold and cunning wind winked just now...!
Defenceless; I am defeated,
Devastated by your goodbye,
Life is flowing laden with its all pebbles,
A pain travels through
My eyes.
Mother,
Seated again to write above words,
A letter with some trembling thoughts
Crippled lines ,
To draw a lie; lie of your presence,
A lullaby I engrave there,
A memoir of your love...!
Snatching a new born child,
From its mother's lap,
Blood oozing from the wings of dove,
Where's the peace that I look for...!
I found hope,
when I was living with your love.
