REMEMBER THE SHADE WE HAD SHARED

Remember the shade we had shared
There under the great neem
Cracking roasted nuts
Chasing laughter
In that harmonious noon
Remember the shade we had shared
Before the storm came whirling around
In whisperless thuds
Blowing our shared shade to shreds
Remember the shade we had shared
Before you sank with the sinking sun
Into the great vale
Remember I watched the rising sun
In the morn
Rising with vigour yet without you
In vain I fared in the shade shedding
Tears
For you sank for all eternity.
