Missing you Bro

I know he was an Angel.......

Four years have passed,

With a hypothetical image of his in my mind

He was deceased, four years back

‘HE’- He was my bro

Time has passed

Just the memory remains

Ahh ….the faded memories

Ears have heard people saying –

he was a great human being,

he was amiable as a CHILD

he was serene as a PEARL

I KNOW HE WAS AN ANGEL

But just my ears have been hearing all this

From the past Four YEARs

Eyes are still craving to see a photograph of him

Waiting to see that serenity of a pearl on his face

Impatient to see his stunning BEAUTY

Breaking the silence of the morning,

The morning alarm lifts up my eyes drenched in sleep

It pinches the ears which are craving to hear his calm voice

Alas! They just can crave, crave and crave lifelong

Coming back from the school

My lips feel like sharing my tiring day with him

Tell him about my friends, teachers and crush

But these lips can just feel to do so

Lying on my bed, craving for a good night kiss

From him

I sleep persuading myself that he will

Surely meet me in my dreams

BUT…..

I often look up at the sky, try to talk to him

Although there’s no reply

but I always ask him

“Bro why did you leave me?”

With this hope that one day I’ll

surely get my answer……
