DARKNESS OF YOU

NOTE: This poem is dedicated to my beloved late grandfather. We shared a really special bond with him and his death has left us in peril. He was my personal counselor and understood me in ways that nobody can.

(Here darkness of you means absence of you)





Those soulful eyes that shined so bright
were becoming dull day by day
That shining smile was nowhere to be found.
That heart of gold
was slowly turning cold.

How scared you were
Your shaking voice
You knew death anticipated you
but we were still wishing on a wishing star.

Never thought there would be a day
where we would have to
live a life
in the darkness of you
a dreadful nightmare that has come true.

Still, remember
the day we lost you to covid
18th of November.

How blessed I felt
having you in my life,

'Little Best Friend'

that's what you called me

Now, what will I do
in the darkness of you?


~ Priya

  The Rare One Your scintillating personality would always brighten up the room. That beatific smile, could easily bewitch anyone. The love that you gave will always be incomparable. You taught us the value of relationships, and to find joy in little things. You have always been an inspiration for those around you. Your gregarious nature, your winsome personality your benign heart and your thirst for knowledge, made you the most venerated person I have ever known.

Nothing Lasts Forever

  Nothing   lasts   forever, but  is  that really true? The  ache   I   feel  in my  heart  when  I   think  of  you, seems  to  stay  the same. Mourning lost opportunities, shedding tears of  shame , seems to  be  my new routine. Did I prevent you from becoming the best? Did   I  hold  you  down? I   watched   you  wither as  you   tried   to  break   free but  you  never gave  up. Your  courage   gave  me  hope, made  me  believe  that not all was lost. Nothing lasts  forever, I  guess  that is true, because now I  see  you smiling in the  mirror, a smile so new and  I hope to hold on to it forever. ~Riya
