Recline

Lying beside you,

My body clinging to yours.

Your arms around me

Like an arch.

The nearness turns into a vast gap,

Like the banks of  a river.

I call for you,

My voice echoes back.

And then with drooped head

Trod along. 

With  tear filled eyes

To the path of pathos and sorrow.

My Candle light

Endure the pain in your heart,

                             And put up with a smile.

Your sorrows will be your candle light,

                             amidst, the impersonal, mundane, world.

For life will go on unaffected,

heedless to your sorrow or joy.

So bury your tears in your eyes,

And let them burn as much within.

Spin a cocoon around you tight,

That nothing affects you by and by.
