The Perished... Poem by Dinu Thomas Kuttamparambil

Oh, my dear...the world is just behind you...
just to grab those lovely pearls you have...
They harbor you for their selfish desires and
this is a fact that would get deep into your heart one day!

But I was least bothered about what possessions you had.
I cared you as my good companion...and
that was what you didn't even notice nor cared...

Time has passed and I didn't even realize
that you have accomplished great heights...
Life was too engaged that you didn't even hear my inner voice...
Calling out your name...You swayed away from me forever...

Oh, my friend! it's painful to forget those great memories we had...
Trust me...friendship never dies...
but I never ever wanted to come your way...
Goodbye! ! !
