There she goes away in a flower strewn path

There she goes away in a flower strewn path,

As light as a breeze,

Softly in peace,

Taking my heart away,

Rocking gently, in palanquin’s sway

Sleep, sweet sleep, wisp and shroud her.

There she goes away in a flower strewn path,

Tired and wizened,

All alone, till the tunnel’s end.

My heart aches and grieves,

To her eternal home, she leaves.

There she goes away in a flower strewn path,

Dust of years shall not obscure her from my memory,

Love all through my life, I will ferry

Someday memories will revive and survive,

Discovered in future generation to live.

As a new life to be born.

Adieu

Looming cloud drifts away,
Clearing for a new rainbow,
Wishing you good tide,
All the very best,
Drifting away without a trace.
As though I never existed,
But with memories as sweet as ever.
That lurks in deepest corner,
Will always stay in my heart.

My Grandfather's Chevalier Award

My long lost heritage,
Cherished and caressed you,
Bringing a smile to me, every time I stare at you,
Adorning a gold frame and scorning at me mightily,
Placid in my grandma’s drawing room.
Grew up gazing at you, curiously,
From the day I was born.
Both you and I go grow old day by day,
Realizing what you were,
Exuberated in joy.
Will Cherish and caresses you,
Till you shrivel.

Hurry they said, Preserve the Precious,
You swayed in mirth, at their folly,
Continuing to wither and wilt,
Holding on to your glory,
Till whoever completes the race first,
Either you or I!
