Heart- Thread of life

There is not a single heart,
that misses no one,
and it beats, just to say
Hey you'll be remembered here, inside me, forever

You might be not there,
but these beats tonight,
the one I am holding in my chest
are a proof that yes you are held too close

Close enough that when the d-day will come
the last dawn of my life
when these breaths will have to stop, gasps may be harder
when eyes will blink for the last few moments

I'll pass on those same vibes
one I held too close to me
To someone subtle enough to care it
One who'll pass on to the other...

Then I'll fully complete the whole circle of life or at least my small part in this big circle of life, which keeps on moving as if forever. At least my small part

Martyr

Bang, and yes my Sepoy is down
my own blood, wasn't he ?
I cried a lot, haven't I ?
Me to be proud, or feel hurt, but fr sure,
he proved, he loved me back

Bang, few moments before the fatal bullet,
machine guns, roaring loud
artillery, filling the dusky cloud
And only once, the thought of her
went across in a wink, before he was dead

Bang, he saw his past,the moments that briskly ran away
Feet of his mother, yes he still feels the last touch, sigh
Those rosy cheeks of his daughter Miya, moist in the tears of 'bbye'
Eyes of a wife, no single blink, bidding adieu with a numb stare
Wanting to stop the time in that moment forever, she can't

Bang, and yes my Sepoy was down
died for whom ? Yes, my own people
Just to pass on few words
"I gave my everything for you";
"Please love my land, the way I do"
