That Is Lakhan’s Life
I wrote a name in the sky during my college
days,
I saw that the strong wind came and blew it
away.
Then I wrote that same name in the sand
some days,
The waves of the ocean came and washed it
away.
On parting, I wrote that name in a hearty
place,
I made it sure that forever that name would
stay.
Did I tell her that I liked her? Yes I did.
Did I tell her that she was an angel? Yes I did.
Did I tell her that we could live together? Yes I
did.
Did I tell her that she was pretty? Yes I did.
If I did then why are we so far away now? Fate!
I am here and she is there, that is not great!
We parted one morning because of health
differences,
We promised to be connected without any
inferences.
Life was shattered without any physical
relationship,
I am crying my heart begging for the same
friendship.
She is far and unable to hear all my intimate
calls,
My days pass with painful cry and very mighty
falls.
I wear a fake smile to hide my world torn
apart,
Underneath that dismal smile is a broken
heart.
All fond memories haunt me now I made a
mistake,
Why did I let her go but put more care I could
take,
All those golden memories are slowly fading
away.
Time moves on and I am repenting it all the
way,
The Pretty Lotus shall never meet me, it
seems.
Time moved and over half a century now
beams,
We had great feelings for each other all along.
On my deathbed I will repent with my sad
song,
It now seems I hurt the one I loved, I know not
why.
I am so distraught and lonely, I still know not
why.
All hopes have faded and all reunion has gone,
Will I ever get over the great loss I have done?
Rose was the pretty flower once in my life,
Lotus replaced my pond and became my wife.
My Pretty Lotus gave me true gift of my life,
She loved me dearly and was a devoted wife.
No one will ever replace her company in my
life,
This world is now all illusion and is full of
strife.
For all my friends I have this new message,
True love is a bright light in a dark passage.
Faithful lovers keep that alight and burning,
It is a sweet fragrance that needs smelling,
So keep a bit of space in your heart my dear.
Let this eternal love flourish forever without
fear.
Our emotions will recognize no barriers I say,
It will jump, leap and penetrate space all day.
True lovers have no hurdles, fences and walls,
They show their tender loving care at all calls.
Lovers are more alike than unlike this I know,
Lovers see themselves in each other and grow.
Now that we cannot be lovers, husband and
wife,
Saroj in heaven, me in hell and that is
Lakhan's life.
I am learning to live my life the best I can,
But it is hard when the heat is high without a
fan.
My Pretty Lotus is gone but not forgotten,
The fond memories are many to be easily
forgotten.
Lakhan and Saroj, Saroj and Lakhan are
immortal,
The love that began long ago will remain
immortal.
