I saw the bend around the road you loved

It unwrapped that big apple tree

And just ahead that friendless seat…

Still staring at the distant sea!!

But did I tell you time has passed

Like slow steady winds of change,

Yellowed leaves liked memoirs of time

Sighs around that forlorn bench.

I saw the lashing waves again…

Echoes still, but with different tales

Do you know where stories go….

Like sparkles on the shining sails!!

‘You can never hide’ you told me oft,

And I believed you and dried my tears…

But when I slowly went my way…

You just let me disappear.

And now the lonely apple tree

still paints my ground deep red

Fades soon through the dust by dusk

And brings back the words unsaid.

I didn't tell you ever, did I?

That this lane still had another way,

When you leave that bend of yours..

And walk a mile or so away….

You never liked the dark in there,

Scared of shadows, you often said,

But sometimes I had entered deep…

And saw that dimness often fades.

And today that same other bend

Still calls me from the sea and skies

But now both the bends merge

With tacit words and hidden lies…

But the path still wants footprints on sand

And the bends of past still show our sky

I don't know how my world seems sad

We both have gone, and I wonder why!!!!!
