Afterthoughts Poem by Indira Renganathan

Afterthoughts

Rating: 5.0


Had we talked more openly in sweet sounds
My luck perhaps, I would not have lost you
Today I turn back, all our happy days
As I count were just seven days only

Spent in silent gazing at each other
What trance was it that made us so happy
We both knew that our hearts were talking long
But we knew not it was just for a week

Is it our fault to have been born impaired
Is it our fault to have wedded in love
Is it our fault that we talked heart to heart
Is it our fault to have been deaf and dumb

A loss is a loss that makes me feel lost
O' my pain, ease thyself lain dead and dumb

We should not express fault or guilt or harass others. In living condition a person needs special care and love. A person sustains with beauty, care and love. Death is truth it brings separation. This poem makes us very emotional. This is excellently penned...10

Heartfelt Poem, after thoughts are always painful. It is like a postmortem report which can only tell you the cause and reasons but one cannot go in the past and amend it., but learn lessons and take heed. Thoughtful Poem.10+++
