Lamp Post

a poem by Purushothama Rao R

The hug I had as an infant
   could never last long for years

The embrace I had as an young heart
   did wither away in course of months

The togetherness I am having these days
   enchants me now, forgetting the span of time

The better half’s concerns reigning in my heart now
   rule just my body mind and soul binding all in the best
