Dry Leaves On The Tree Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Dry leaves on the tree
Monday.2nd November 2020

We vowed to remain together
now and forever
expressed thanksgiving
to an almighty for being on our side

it proved short living
I was separately diving
in the depth of darkness
he held a grim face

I held his hand
firmly to send
my displeasure
and assured vow" never to see him again"

he understood the score
he was no more to be adored
I gave him the last goodbye
and did not try to look back

I filled my heart with sadness
and held a deserted face
it had no more love's traces
only dry leaves on trees
