LOVE LOST AND FOUND

LOVE LOST AND FOUND


I was so full of grief when I
Lost one day my dear wife,
It seemed as if I have myself
Rather lost my own life.

Being without life partner was
Living without breathing.
It was almost like having a
Heart that was not beating.

I grieved and cried, all things I tried
To calm down my distress.
But gradually this feeling
Did my being possess:

“The grief I have is in fact her
But sweetest memory.
Why not take my pen and write down
My little love story?”


And what better way to express
Love than in a poem?
That is the reason why today
A poet now I am.
