Dedicated to the dream I live in and a love immortal...

Instead of the comfort of the hearth,
Instead of the joys of family,
Instead of a life of laughter and mirth,
I sentence myself a wanderer to be.

Wandering afar without a friend,
Tasting bitter fruit all the day,
Wandering forever without end,
Seeking the happiness of yesterday.

The yesterday that was a dream,
Dreamt and then gone away,
A life that ended in a scream,
With the dawn of the new born day.

But I chose to live my tomorrows,
Wrapped in nebulous arms of time,
With no thought of future sorrows,
For that moment you were mine.

Yes, for that brief moment I lived,
A lifetime longer than eternity,
Yes, what worth were all my tomorrows,
Before that moment spent with thee?

Very,very nice Deepak! "Wandering forever without end"--Loved it.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

A haunting poem, Deepak!
You have such a way with words!
