“SEE OFF”

Poetry 1 Minute

See off 

The weirdest moment which i have ever

Seen and experienced 

In which there is over 100% exchange of emotion

love and pain of separation 

With the tears in eyes ,irrigating the surface of cornea

Reluctant to fall down ,don’t know why

May be due to intimacy between the two 

The cornea doesn’t want to loose

The comforting coolness of tear for a micro second

And the throat which refuses to utter 

A shrill sound and order his two sons 

Larynx and Pharynx – to vibrate

Emotions and gesture become such a pertinent 

thing 

At that particular time, to communicate

Sensing the majesty of situation, the throat then

Pulls himself back and a feeble voice comes

“TAKE CARE”  ,   even hardly audible 

And the rest of work is done 

By waving of hands and whistle of vehicle

The sophisticate cornea feels her love

belittle at this departing sight

hence , loosens her grip on tears

And as soon as the person departs

Few drops of tear can be seen 

furrowing the lining of the nose , fallen from the eyes.
