☆ Bewildering Interrogation…  ☆

☆

My heart writhes in a

deep anguish for you…

My hairs have turned grey

at  such  a tender  age…

*

He started crying looking

at my pitiable predicament

As if he’d come to perform

last rites of someone dear…

*

Give me your sole custody

just  once for a keepsake

I will  spend  rest  of  my  

life  taking  care  of you…

*

I know this but I can’t really

believe that you aren’t mine

But I’m perpetually immersed 

in  your  thoughts only…

*

He  left murmuring  sotto voce

raising the intriguing inquiry

I’m still trying to figure out 

his bewildering interrogation..!
