You left many a pleasure,
You left many a work,
Are they for us to complete?
You left many a hearts empty,
You left many in tears,
You left many with memories;
What did you take with you then?
A coffin of reminisces you lie now,
A basket-full of memories.
You maybe are over with giving;
But did we ask you to go?
You never asked me for a bit,
Come I will give you the final rites now;
Did you leave us because you wanted these?
From me
My younger-grandfather.
Mask
I had seen it roaming about
I had seen it on the road
It was clear to me even in day light
As it lingered around me in the night.
Never had it haunted our peaceful place
Save one stray morning tragically
Snatching away somebody dear
To exist in some unknown heaven.
Since then I had not forgotten its ghastly face
Until this fine July morning
It showed the face under that hood again
To take the road until the end, its death.
How can I reach you now?
How can I but say what she spake?
Somebody wants you so much now;
That she can put her life at stake.
For you she had lived,
For you she held onto the sway.
And for you she had bore;
All the storms on the way.
She is hapless now,
A mass of misery and mourning;
She just wants to be with you;
Can you just visit her, one fine morning?
For you she will live,
For you will she strive to reach the shore;
Crossing all miseries and insults,
For the happiness you for her had left spread ashore.
