Poetry

An elegy in loop style poetry (last word of each line is used as the first word of the succeeding line)

You aren’t the one I can forget
Forget I never your presence
Presence yours became as of air
Air that I can feel but can’t touch
Touch yours was heart felt
Felt you are my breath
Breath though lost I’m leading my life
Life became a poisonous snake
Snake like is the time that bites
Bites I bear in the memory of your love
Love that drowned me in the abyss of pain
Pain of your absence has no medicine
Medicine I take none to cure my sorrow
Sorrow is my shadow till I reach you
You do live in the palace of my heart
Heart though weeps river of tears
Tears haven’t yet wiped your portrait from my eyes
Eyes mine live with your portrait
Portrait yours is my companion of life
Life is to lead with pains and joys
Joys I search in your memory
Memory mine is yet fresh
Fresh is the time of our affectionate hours
Hours of those days make me lead life
Life is to be accepted as it comes
