Without You By Dr prafulla K.P الهند 🇮🇳

 

Without You

This world seems unreal without you

Only a mere lobe of land to beget me woe 

The sun, moon, and stars -all worthless seem

And my life has'en a desert where hope never gleams 

Without you Kashs of Autumn bring no meaning 

Since life, without you, a vagrant forever running 

I don't stay to listen where the wind chimes

Or where the brooks lap and the spring rhymes

Though smiles, still the dawn appears sullen

The flowers lack lustre, stand dry with lost pollen

The koel crackles and the scales she does miss

And the lost traveller loses all hopes for the bliss

Though the stars prepare to twinkle in the sky

But the clouds feel jealous, and veil them and fly

And the night incessantly fights for his rights

Sans moonlight, amid owls' hoots he awaits sunlight

As I await you dear amid many shies and fears

Day after night, seeping fate's cruel, bitter tears.
