The Cloud

Why is there so much gloom?
Why so much pain, unending.
Why do your tears touch my eyes?
Why do you wail for me?
Daughter of the land and the skies.

Four years ago, on this very day,
When the journey had began, of my Fay, and me.
I was in joy, in wordless bliss,
Taking every step together, hand in hand,
Your tear I felt on my eye.
In joy, you showered on us a blessing,
But, we wail now with all joy missing.

You witnessed our love, day in day out.
A messenger between us
When miles apart we stood.
A shoulder I could lean on,
When the pangs of separation did hit.
A silent spectator as we parted,
A pain filled partner as I mourn.

My friend,
Today you hide my tears with yours,
My screams with the thunders you roar.
And till the day I cuddle in your parent’s arms,
Stay along in success, pain or bliss,
Sharing moments, most senses do miss.

PS: written on 23rd June 2006, after almost an year of breaking up wtih my ex love. The symbolism here is special. The day i walked hand in hand with her for the first time four years ago, the cloud showered his blessings on us by raining. I remember that day very well. But this day after four years, when we no longer were together, i found the cloud sheddign tears, maybe to cover mine. The person that promised me a lifetime of her love was no longer there to share that love, but my buddy the cloud was there as a slient spectator.
