Something's Amiss...

There was a time and a phase
When the very little tiny thought
Of your smiling, lovely face
A twinkle to my eyes, brought

Warmth that reminded me of hearth
Closeness that of my own skin
Connection that felt like heaven, n earth
Relation, greater than my own kin

Where are those moments of joy?
A camaraderie that seems lost
Invisible umbilical cord severed
Togetherness, a thing of the past

And that once when you went away
To a far off, distant cold land
You chose to distance from the sunny bay
And let go of my eternal loving hand

A feeling of void is what I feel
Wilderness, a sense of a loss
A wound that would perhaps not heal
Pervades my sensibility, oh, dear!

Why did you have to kill the child?
That grew in womb of time
With so many dreams of life, wild
Is not that a grave, sinful crime?

It is not the same anymore
Our conversations have no love
A piece of muslin that is tore
Sweet memories – that is what I have now.
