The City ... Mud splatters my bare feet Stars shine in darkened skies As I walk to where we used to meet The night echoes some waif's cries. I see the pavements lumpy with logs Huddled against the cold night chill Humanity interspersed with dogs Carrion awaiting vultures will The stench of decay fills my soul Like tangible shadows invading me Questions whirl; I approach my goal The now solitary Tamarind Tree Dim memories of a long forgotten grove Of verdant sunlit waving leaves Fleet through my mind; my eyes rove For the spot, which still it's magic weaves My feet softly caress the hallowed soil As they have done these many years Then must I return to again toil To forget your memory through tears And become one with the City for another night And live with the City through another day The City where my kin are common sight The City that gives and then takes away |

You have again so well expressed the pain of memories, and the longevity of the feelings when you have loved, even though they are gone. Catalinamoon |

Deepak...you have your city, I have mine. As I read, I was transported back to that city...to a place, not a Tamarind tree, but a little shop...and I felt the lonliness. Excellent....Hardrock |
