After Me!

She turned in complete gloom after me

Dresses in black, always after me.

 

Brought lamp and flowers on my grave

She did all this until live after me.

 

Used to go to the sea quietly

to sail the paper boat after me.

 

Who ever loved her, left her, because

my name was always there on her lips after me.

 

The bird which used to call her

could not live longer after me.

 

I never let her tears fall down

That’s why she did not weep at all after me.

 

I was not the same after we parted

No body also could recognize her after me.

 

I loved her laughing

So she kept laughing ragged and frustrated after me.

  • LOL, Mishaikh. Okay, I understand. ^^

  • Yes indeed Rose, you right about this sufgering. Thanks.
  • True love never ends. Often, people who lost her/his beloved one, get sick or turn mad. Nobody and nothing can cure a broken heart and a sick mind. Often, people flee from the reality to a world of fantasy. Time cures all wounds, this saying does not always work.

    A sad poem, Mishaikh.

  • @onee
    The poet says that she turned mad after her beloved had gone.

    And when a person turns mad (out of their mind)....... then what happens?


    Rest you can understand onee.

  • What does "kept laughing ragged and frustrated" mean? 

    :)

  • Bahut acha hain, Mishaikh sahib! From the way that guy is behaving, she lacks true love. It seems that despite the chase something is missing. I am not sure about her chasing but there is something missing. Thanks for sharing.  

  • Thanks bet for liking my attempt.
