POEM
A nightmare awoke him
from slumber one night.
Driven by a desire to
visit her from his faraway place
he caught a train to
her abode even without
her permission.
On the occasion of
bidding farewell he had
given her an assurance
to pay a visit to her
whenever she wanted.
He made it a point
to ‘fly’ to her with
pleasure and delight and
with his heart thumping.
But this time
contrary to her pleadings
he caught a long distance train
solely for the purpose of
visiting her.
His proximity always gave
her pleasure and unlimited happiness
and hence it was
a trait in her character
to call him over her
cell-phone and wanted him
to come over by her side.
After covering a long distance the train
he finally reached the city
where she was residing.
He got down and
in his earnest desire to reach her
he caught a taxi to her residence.
Shocked, embarrassed
and pained
he saw her flat locked
and a lady residing
in the adjacent flat
came to him and told
‘you seeking Mrs…..’?
He shook his head mechanically
‘She is no more, sir
one day she didn’t awake
from her deep sleep.
We people knocked
on her door frequently
but with no response.
At last we went to
the extent of calling
the law and order people
and they took her to hospital.
By that time she had
gone to her heavenly
abode…..
Actually no one knows
her real name in this colony.
She always wanted to be alone…..’
That nightmare which
awoke him from his
deep slumber was in
his frozen mind……
