Pains We Shared! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

Pains We Shared!

Rating: 5.0


Clouds of pain we shared
Each drops of rain tickled
went flowing along with our tears.
In the darkness of midnight,
We hid our tears,
swinging in the garden,
Hoping for early bright sunrise.
With the lapses of time everything changed!
Time kept us running and moving!

A wink of eyes, years fell down
Leaving me alone you are too flying alone
You compromised somewhere in life
Challenges you faced in with all boldness you hold in
You taught me the same to have patience with all might.
Parallel our pains were but like two sides of coin
One hidden in dark, while other came to light.
In one sense we hid our tears inside
but spilled out on seeing each other.

I see you flying
Though not soaring
Keep sailing my dear!
As long as you breathe in..

We may not meet
As the time departed us
Where's your fate
Where's my fate
Unsure of how much breathe we hold on to ourselves.
We never know
This too will be written down in my memories ever.

Earth is round
For we may meet somewhere
Pain I felt, as you were very close my dear.

Seeing you flying
I can smile and wish you all the best

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem reminds me of my close friend. She is a Muslim and 3 words her husband said, took both kids away aged 6 and 12 at that time,7years back. Everyone said she is divorced, but she fought for 7 years and finally compromised.
Through court she obtained divorce and moved on with her life. She couldn't meet her own kids these many time. She cried a lot in the initial stage. But she took job and she kept herself busy. I see the boldness in her. I appreciate the way she fought. In fact I respect her.

Picture of a selfless love for a friend, nicely painted.An Urdu poet says-Rnang baten karen aur baton se khushboo aaye-When colors start talking and sweet fragrance I feel, it means I am reading a poem by Geetha.

Though separated by distance, still held so close! A poignant expression of the pain felt on being cast on opposite shores! Very touchingly put in!

A mountain looks amazing while climbing and the mind triumphs at the final conquest. As your moving friend has moved away, remember this separation may intensify your bond of love. Again the mountain one has climbed once, will ever remain as a marvel for a long cherishable experience!
