Far away

This time I am far away from home..

just so far that I cannot hold his hand and walk the Christmas carol..

I cannot sing my hymns..

I cannot see Mother..

I am blinded by time

This time I am far away from home….

 

Last time we were together...together so close...

we sat by the igniting fire...resting my head on your shoulder..

we were  singing... singing Christmas carols..

The rum cakes we had...the red wine which we sipped..

made my soul merrier

Last time we were together..Together so close that the air was silently sweet..

When you walk away the cold night..

my soul was freezed...my  veins were numbed..

the fire died out.. the taste escaped the wines..

the rat nibbled cake..the half bunt candle..

everything lost the essence with your going away..

when you walk away the cold night..Everything else walked away with you...

I have been sitting a year..

every second was more than a decade..

I am waiting.. I am still waiting in the dark room..

I want you to come.. to purge the room of dusts..

To withdraw the curtains ... to let the sunshine beam enter....

I want you to come and lit the candle.. Ignite the ash filled fireplace...

I want you to come hug me tight and tell me all was a dream..

 I  am still sitting...

This time I am far away from home..

just so far that I cannot hold his hand and walk to the Christmas carol..

I cannot sing my hymns..

I cannot see Mother..

This time I am far away from home..
