You are no more, they say.
Not with me anymore.
Do they mean away from me, forever?
But, what about your presence in me?
In every bit of my body you still breathe.
Your fragrance, your touch, your tender hands
stayed in my memory and they will be Immortal.
You still kiss my forehead with your vigilent but vanished lips,
In my bed you cuddle me invisibly in silence.
But where did you go?
Why did you leave, Daddy?
That day, your cold body, whitened lips,
inaudible heart beats hurt me.
I howled, I begged, I cried
But you didn't come back.
Didn't my tears melt you?
I wondered how to keep you, O Daddy, with me, Forever.
I picked your funeral pyre's flowers
And they assured me that you're still not gone.
I kissed you till my eyes managed to look at your beautiful face.
Daddy,Why did you go ?
