Living Life Lifelessly Poem by Renu Kakkar

I live my life,
as if it is lifeless.
As a flame of a wick lamp,
emits no brightness.

Separation was written beforehand,
now meeting is impossible.
How two hearts are pained,
no direction to meet seems possible.

I live my life,
as if it is lifeless.
As a flame of a wick lamp,
emits no brightness.

It looked as if,
i would acquire happiness.
But my boat got stuck in a whirlpool,
reaching the bank was aimless.

I live my life,
as if it is lifeless.
As a flame of a wick lamp,
emits no brightness.

A smile on the lips is seen,
but it does not reach the heart.
I smile to hide my pain,
so no one can see my hurt.

I live my life,
as if it is lifeless.
As a flame of a wick lamp,
emits no brightness.

The moon, the fresh air, the scene,
are no longer necessary.
If you can not be with me,
their being here for me is un happy.

Somehow manage and meet me,
awaiting for you my eyes wait anxiously.
Do not take so long in coming,
that i am not alive to meet you eventually.

I live my life,
as if it is lifeless.
As a flame of a wick lamp,
emits no brightness.
