O THAT I COULD HAVE MY PRICELESS LOST CHEST!

 


O THAT I COULD HAVE MY PRICELESS LOST CHEST!


Alas! What a terrible blow for a husband bereaved beloved

To be untimely severed from her heart’s pulsation- ‘Lover’

Whom she loved as much as she nobody else ever loved

Whom she took to be a part greater as well as much better!


She is now without him an utterly marooned non-entity

Merely an existence without an iota of conjugal sense

Once, a mine of wealth of her Lover, is worth not a pence

Life now poses for her as an isolation hell for eternity!


The Sun now is too weak to remove her wretched darkness

The Moon now is too feeble to illuminate her pale face

In her ruffled Sea of life, high tide is now a daily occurrence

The power of her vision and dream are without lens!


Sugarcane now fails to retain its natural, sugary flavour sweet

Flowers now fail to flaunt their intrinsic aromatic fragrance!

Sorrow, grief, delirium and silence do vociferously tweet

Ah! With nostalgic moments she piteously does romance!


Every moment now passes as a snail-like aeon does

Faded and lustreless is now her life of yesteryears’ Rose

Petals of varied aspects are dry, dreary and hard now

Weights of bitter bereavement press her to shed and bow!


Like a threadless kite she is now in the helpless space flown

Like a fallen lifeless leaf she is now pathetically blown!

Kicked, dribbles she, only restlessly longing for her last rest

Dreams in vain, “O I could have my priceless lost Chest!”
