My Other Lady...
Posted in farewel, love, Mumbai, silhouette 43 comments
It’s the final goodbye,
Its time to leave you tonight…
You give love,
To all who ask,
they sing of you,
In their glory, you bask…
They sing of the days,
They sing of the nights,
They sing of every moment,
Spent in your sweet embrace…
You hold them in love,
You share their pain,
You bleed with their wounds,
Yet in silence, you pray…
I live in your kindness,
I wish to die the same way,
But time is a journey,
It takes me far away…
The day my journey ends,
I will be back with you my love,
Till then, it’s the final goodbye,
p.s. - its an ode to Mumbai...my love...from the time i can think of, i have been hopelessly in love with this city...will be parting ways from this sweetheart soon...i just pray i find it so when i return...
i wanted to write a long post about what it means to me, may be one day i will, till then, here is Mumbai...

aww...so beautiful. I can understand your emotions.
Empathies and a hug. Good luck for a new start in a new place.
had i not seen the PS .. it could have been a person too :)
:)
Though it was for a city, yet the personification was real enough to lead me to a make believe of it being not an it, but her.
Nice one, and best of luck!
Cheers,

Nice read....parting from Mumbai is real painful couldn't stay away for a week....
The poem was good and the words used so apt, felt it was written for an individual !

Take Care.
P.S: My exams were not so good also..but hope to not let the melancholia and fear bound me again the next time round!
touching! and i can imagine how difficult it is to part with your own place which is like a pat of our lives..hope u get the best in life :)

touching emotions of parting away...wishes for you :)

@Fatima

Hmm :( the pangs of hopeless love, why do we need to suffer it all? Oh, the hopes of finding d sweetheart the same when we'l come back.. Would have loved yr words if without the p.s. Part..
@Ganesh

lovely post... 'Mumbai meri jaan' after living in the city for 4 years I realized what life is all about... it has taught me to never say never
@Beyond
Mumbai has sure taught everything i have learnt till now...still continues even when my miles away...
:)
Here again to maarofy vehlian. ;)
i was reminded that i hadn't yet 'commented' on this poem. Didn't i say that you're so obsessed with natural beauty.. Be it place or full moon. :) and lizards (yuck though!)
the words are illusionary- give the perfect picture like being talked about a girl, as you intended ;) other lady... Teri aunty ko btaun? :P
ruk main bhi jati hoon uske pass fir btaungi!
Good one. :)
p.s.- sorry for being so late in commenting here.
@Deepika
hmm, finally my Momo decided to do this favour...thank you...am humbled by your words of appreciation...
aur meri aunty ko bhi yeh lady bahot pasand thi..
:) phihaal tu kahin jaa mat, terese pehle mera no aayega..
:P
hehehe...
You never know kis ka number pehle hai. So shut up mr. I-am-so-old-and-dying abhi to tere ko mere liye ek uncle choose karna hai ;) hehehe papa wali feeling aari hai! Lol *blush*
chal ab. Kaam kar le. Nahi to tera boss tujhe fire kar dega! Both intended and literally!
@Deepika
tu sharmarahi hai!! waah...sahi hai..hmmm, mein jaldi jaane ki gal kab ki?? main toh sirf terese pehle jaane ki keh raha tha...
:P
