Jyoti Thatte Once inseparable We arefar apart now, Ioften wondered How do you farenow? Your thoughts do not bother me, The distance no longer tortures me, The sun has walkedacross manydawns, Your memory no longer walks across the lawns Iclose my eyes to see you, And refuse to recognise you, The throbbing pain of seperation,

 

That shuddered my soul in desperation, Has settled in my heart like adead beat, Anaive tear smiles at those memories sweet, Today, I do not want to know howyou fare, As at acolourless rainbow Icarelesslystare, When love into limerence fades, Rainbows seem to have dark shades. Does love have expiry date Or it just succumbs to fate? GOD KNOWS. (Selected ) ■
