Now that you are gone
I seek search to no avail
The place I call home
Memories are real
How else could I see you both
Whenever I like.
Gone but not too far
By my side in a heartbeat
Though I can’t touch you.
Been alone for long
Life and death kept them apart
They reunited
He waited for her
14 years to be exact
Together at last.
Sunshine storm or rain
I miss you every season
Love has no reason
Start middle and end
You are my missing heartbeat
My incomplete poem.
There are no goodbyes
Life silently passes by
We mourn our loved ones.
Very well expressed..We always feel our loved ones close to us even when they are gone.
Thanks Poonam, you know how I feel.
Such a poignant poem. I’m very sorry for your loss. It’s comforting in a way to think of your parents together at last. Though they leave behind a heartbreakingly sad vaccum.
Tulika, I feel me and my siblings are alone in the world now. Parents are a protective shield around their kids. We are vulnerable now.
Your poem is both beautiful and heartbreaking, Sulekha. It’s an irreplaceable loss. ❤️
Thanks Vinitha, I am coping slowly. Some days are okay but some are too painful to bear.
What a beautiful and deeply moving poem—each haiku captures so much emotion in so few words. The way love, loss, and memory are woven through the verses really speaks to the heart. I especially felt the weight of “You are my missing heartbeat / My incomplete poem.” It’s incredible how poetry can help us process grief and still feel connected to those we’ve lost.
