Day-21 NaPoWriMo-2022
Prompt: To write a poem where you first recall someone you knew closely but are no longer in touch with, then a job you used to do but no longer do, and then a piece of art you saw once and that has stuck with you over time. Finally, close the poem with an unanswerable question.
The unexpected meeting
Turned out to be something
Beautiful and long-lasting.
Filling the lonely hours
With your presence,
Every moment was precious.
The hours changed
Into months and months into years,
We were inseparable.
And then, one fine day
You left in the midway
Without a word or a second chance.
The workplace wore
A desolate look
The work which I loved, felt
Like an incomplete destiny
The geography of things, and
emotions became history.
The beautiful painting,
That hanged in your office
Remained an aching memory.
It shows up in my dreams
The burst of colors
The regaled roses
The manicured lawns
The replenishing fountains,
Which you created with your hands,
Breaks my already broken heart
Into many more fragments.
I always wonder,
Why do we fall prey to our fate?
