Memoir on Departure
Dark clouds clusters deep in mind -
During days and nights,
The mind remains feeble and frail,
Feels like ceasing abyssal in time!

Living in this world of illusions and affections,
That nobody can deny -
Fondness lies every nook and corner
Beloved is nothing but is thy soul!

Thou mind doesn't agree,
To depart; to succumb
Yet in it's due; it has to abscond -
Leaving this deceptive existence!

Let's not count the numbers;
Pondering the kinship
Who were my very own -
Nevertheless will be forgotten
Thou not even reminisce!

Yet a few will remain;
Memories might be apprised
Poems and words will be recounted,
Silence will be redefined!
Seek me out me in solitude -
You'll find me saying goodbye!
