To my father

I thought that you fought

in moments of pain,

but you hugged death

as you loved life...

Your unblemished will

suffered the loss of heart,

but never did you cry

to see us all in despair...

A life of supreme virtues

who can live except greatness?

when morals degraded

you held on the devotion...

Memories of inspirations

and future of absolute manhood

you left behind in me,

we differed, i said

but why is it 

that i cherish to be You?

I want you to call me

when we illusory

watch you go in Ganges,

teach me about me

when they grant you peace..

Waiting for you

in dreams and other levels

request is to enlighten

my soul with knowledge..

So strong is your love

that i allow you

to take over,

yes take over me

'cause i know

i will be happy.

'cause

'none can measure happy or sad'

Another poem which I didn't enjoy but I can feel it....
Nothing much changes on a person's demise...only the amount of love from his close ones increases and so the amount of his/her being missed....I love the way you expressed your condolence for yourself.....Strong guy!
Thanks for sharing this one.....even if twas not easy to share... (maybe)

Thanks a ton Tahsin...i know with time the love deepens and it's like you want yourself to immerse in a sea of love and never come back...but we come back to the world of real superstitions and hatred and then we want to say that 'let's love and not fight'

Indeed agreed! You're heartedly welcome :) !!

Words fall short to describe this grievously agonizing emotion.
I will refrain from commenting on how this poem has turned out, as nothing can ever be flawed and unfounded about the raw expression of this unadulterated sentiment of losing the loved one; nothing could aptly convey the ineffable loss, the pain, the void.
I pray you find courage and strength to cope with the loss. May his soul rest in peace.

[Gaurav]

Thank you for your prayer Neha. Appreciate the kindness.

The Father dies leaving behind in his son a future he refers to as absolute manhood, alluding to the ability that his son will be able to handle whatever life deals out. The son however, wants enlightenment from the soul of his Father to more or less take over his life and lead him on to happiness.

[Gaurav]

That is what i want. Thank you for your review.
