Absence

a poem by Samuel Prem Kumar J

How long you’ll remain far from me, my dear
Tell me when’ll come the time for us to be near
Your separation has struck me like a spear
When you are far away, I’m gripped with all fear
I don’t think, I can anymore bear
Only with your love, my whole’ll be clear
For you, to be with me, I’m waiting year after year
I believe you’ll not leave me alone with tear
