UNWANTED
Flows
life, human experiences,
A
woman in society family,
The
sweetener of life and beautiful,
Beauty
never means her skin only,
Expression
of her life, poetic softness,
The
immensity of love, compassion,
Infinite
care, endless service extends,
Oasis
in the dreary desert of life appears,
blistering
hot sand dunes life on a test,
Finds
a traveler solace at an oasis,
Satiate
thirsty heart fountain in front,
Reality
image of a woman, encounter,
Parched
lips get wet, and she offers water,
Smile
at times for a few turns mirage,
Throngs
heart for companionship a lot,
Misses
by a whisker the soft hands for life,
Thorn
becomes her memory living hurt,
I
have seen such an elegant lady, speechless,
Obscure
remote village rich was landlady,
Palatial
mansion century old crowded,
She
had twelve sons given birth in life,
Unfortunately,
an age six children perished,
Unknown
fever untreated suffered,
One-by-one
left the world, mother unhappy,
Lost
her husband at an early age,
Life
loomed as if that desert sand ended,
Rest
six sons grew in time strong,
And
stout, bold, adventurous traveler,
Found
mother's infinite care and love,
Lived
to meet family life wealthy happy,
Children
plenty in the family, growing,
Time
flows serenely forgotten sadly past,
The
woman I saw, an icon for a large family,
Sons,
grandsons, and granddaughters grew,
Their
mothers included fifty family members,
Head
of the family the landlady worshipped,
Charisma
and compassion help farmers,
Fast
gained as a folklore goddess,
Adored
undisputedly admired her soft heart,
Shower
gift to weeping eyes brings smiles,
Sons
were happy, so the daughter in laws,
Children,
the grandkids explicitly in love,
Octogenarian
touching a hundred years,
Raised
the sandstorm life in the desert,
Monstrous,
the cloud of sand continued,
A
decade passed, her six sons passed away,
Still
alive, the mistress of destiny,
Surprised
the village people disbelieve,
Agile,
functional, understood time,
Silent,
sober, pious by now confined,
People
enter the room, touch her feet,
Quietly
escape out of the room,
Surprised
her twelve sons, her husband gone,
Life
flowing through her, surprising all,
Started
queue of six widows one by one,
All
departed in a few years it happened,
Eldest
grandson, master of the house,
The
century-old lady, still living fine,
Today
invited to the eleventh day of the rite,
The
demise of the eldest grandson, a
ceremony,
Villagers
are offered food, delicious plates,
Few
are meeting the lady to bow,
She
came in a wheelchair to out,
Asked
before the crowd if tasteful food,
Next
was her request for sweets,
She
was relishing her plate lavishly,
Astonished
spellbound onlookers were,
An
unwanted life stays forget the death,
Enjoys
sweetmeat after grandson's death,
Life
in her adherences bewildered all,
Death
around her taking all duly,
Unwanted
soul death never liked to touch...
