"..will wait for you, oh my dear.."


Prologue: I wrote this poem initially, before writing 'you-can't-just-walk-away'. For some reason, I decided not to publish it as it is. So modified the whole subject and changed most of the lines.. Anyway I have finally made up my mind to publish this... I know that it's a very strong subject and I never meant to hurt anyone. I know that I can never feel the real feelings of a woman expressed in this poem. I just want to say - Yes, life is unfair at times, but most of the times it does gives us back what we have lost... With that positive note, now you can proceed...  


It was that day when I came to know,
my face turned pink with some unusual glow…
The day that made me feel so special,
the nature around started some lovely carol…

Yes, I was carrying someone within me,
it didn’t really matter it was he or she…
All I knew that our lives will change,
maybe it already has, which isn’t strange…

I was eagerly waiting for the arrival ,
as we prepared to welcome our angel…
I started dreaming of being a mother,
a wonderful gift given by the divine creator…

As days passed by, I had developed a bond,
to every feeling of mine, the ‘new’ life did respond…
It wasn’t visible from the outside,
as our souls started playing from the inside…

And that ‘black’ day as I woke up,
I felt my other half didn’t turn up…
I thought this could be my illusion,
I tried communicating within, but there wasn't any reaction…

My worst nightmares turned out to be real,
how I badly wished it to be unreal…
I felt as if I lost a piece of my heart,
then I heard – ‘oh mother, my sweetheart…’

I saw her soul as she came close by,
she was so pretty and gorgeous sweety pie..
when I said ‘I will miss you oh my dear',
she just smiled & her tiny hands wiped my tears,

“Don’t you cry, oh my mother,
I will born again as your daughter...
just wait for me, and don’t be sad,
leave me now, but I will come back..."

As she flew away I tried to stop her,
she didn’t stop, but now I knew, I won’t suffer…
she filled my emptiness with some hope and color,
as it made me smile & cry together...

and then I looked above just to say,
"I will wait...
...will wait for you oh my dear”…

    Painful and hopeful at the same time.
    The expression you used are simple and strike a chord.

    Can't express in words how much I admire this poem and your work...

    The lines in the poem were so heart touching and emotional. It would be really so hard for any mother to go through such a kind of situation and i must say you have written down each line with all the emotion filled in it. I just wish no mother would go through such kind of situation but even if they do they just hope the same way you have ended it.

    @Ege Denne: Thank you Ege... And I was thinking I had removed that option!! Is it still coming?? Let me check... Thanks for pointing that out...

    @Saru-jee: Thank you Saru-jee... That is exactly what I was trying to give... I mean things happen at times... I wanted someone to know that it isn't the end of life... I hope I could convey the same message.

    @Disha: Absolutely right... That's life... Welcome to 'Through the eyes..."

    @Elvirah: I wish & pray the same Elvirah.. No mother/child deserve to go through this stage... And yes, if they do I hope that they would feel that its not the end... Thanks for you comments.. & Welcome to "Through the eyes.."

    A very nicely laid-out concept. Curious to know what inspired you - it appears as if it has been deeply felt and written.

So, he skipped the cab timing and went ahead. His house was situated in an interior place, passing through those lonely streets which normally are taken over by the street dogs at night.

Fading childhood...

It was 12’o clock when I woke up last Sunday (thanks to the night shift on Friday)and heard my wife already in the kitchen, may be preparing something for lunch. With great difficulty, I dragged myself out of the bed. My feet refused to stand on the floor, as the tiles were still cold. Sudden rush of blood started flowing throughout my body as I felt early morning fainting sensation, though I had slept for really long hours… I started cursing and blaming the night shift and the kind of work I have been doing in the last few days. Some sort of frustration and disgust had already started developing in my heart as I entered kitchen to see what my wifey had prepared for the lunch. When I was sipping tea with some wooziness in the balcony, I heard some strange music (or shall I say ‘noise’ of the drum). I was about to complain about that too, (as I was in a great mood of complaining about anything and everything) I was stuck by what was happening on the street! A small girl in her early chi

"Is it a dream or..." ... part1

After a long, hard day… all I wanted is a sound sleep. It was already 10PM and I had nothing to fill my tummy since lunch. I didn’t feel like preparing anything as I was too tired. However, my hungry stomach didn’t let me sleep. I strolled into the kitchen to see if there is anything. Then I quickly prepared omelet with those sleepy eyes. I was so hungry that, I stuffed it into my mouth, almost chocked myself in a hurry. Once I was satisfied, I went straight to the bed. I got sleep in no time… **** “Hi Sunil…” , an elegant lady stopped me with a smile. I had never seen her before. How does she know my name? “Hi…ah..”   I was about to say something before she cut me short. “ wondering who am I? well, you don’t know me Sunil. But I know everything about you.” Is it? And how is that, and why are you saying all this. Is this a trap or something? Where am I? I started wondering. “don’t think too much Sunil. I am your friend and I am not here to hurt you. And this is not a trap” she giggled
