LOST LETTER

 

LOST LETTER

 

Overwhelmed, outspoken spirit,

Silent forever sadness discreet,

Shield, in a chamber of heart stay,

Looked every dawn change pray, (1)

 

Nothing happened, I got convinced,

Event of life pass relinquished,

Wait morning, afternoon, dusk,

Love if pinnacle in mind musk, (2)

 

Tested relished fragrant sweet,

Hand in hand, her blossom lit,

The warmth unparallel renews,

Every union time leisure muse, (3)

 

Thought permanent life heaven,

Her voice melodious call shaken,

The first sight eye met eye electric,

unforgettable moment life ecstatic, (4)

 

I love chosen instantly remember,

Distant life job forced, consider,

Wrote a letter every week sincere,

Unfailingly expressed life adore, (5)

 

Inks imprinted our union many,

Writing didn't know why uncanny,

Mischievous lives may separate us,

Her replies diminishing curious, (6)

 

Wait for her reply, I continued,

For years, wrote to her, reviewed,

Packed my baggage to meet her,

Wanted marriage confirm, clear, (7)

 

Bought a ticket for the train, distant,

Found her last letter impact,

It was in a book unopened in a sock,

She was so sad her fate gone amok, (viii)

 

Her dad expired, mom left the village,

She was with her uncle, lost my message,

Lost letter bundles she read wept,

Sold village home her uncle kept, (9)

 

Her last letter was three years old,

But she stops writing to me, cold,

Traveled to her uncle's home,

Met her whispered letter troublesome, (10)

 

Lost the letter in her village with me,

Fate united both of us, pray supreme,

who makes or breaks at His will,

Finished our marriage life reveal, (11)

 

Her eye, at first sight, captured me,

We loved each other appeared, a dream,

The lost letter that devastated our lives,

The Lord, benevolent help, thrives. (12)
