Desolate= Empty , lonely
As growing up I had limited stuff toys like Mickey mouse and bear
Which I preserved with immense love and care
As my nephew nieces were born, my toys went to them
These furry toys were not a lifeless thing but for me a gem
They were jovial and gave me their smile
And this visit I kept searching them for a while
Mickey and Donald were lying desolated under the bed in night
I picked them up and hugged them tight
They were torn with full of cuts yet kept a gentle smile
They remind me my journey and company they gave me these miles
I took my mom's stitching set and started fixing the pair
As I was repairing my desolated eyes met their
Even I am empty so are they
Doing our duty is the only way
But as I fixed it ,I was happy to give a tribute ,my life's part
Desolated us finally smiled with whole heart
My childhood buddies are so special and delight
The desolated spot is the memories vacuum which slips like sand as I hold tight
After my parents left me the home feels empty in a blink
Clearing the unwanted thing is toughest as I have memories link
I used to love my pets and even they are no more
I am desolated and I cry my heart to the core
But then just as I stitched the stuff toys and gave them another chance
I should heal within me each bitter stance
It's completely human to cry ,to feel desolated any way
But past is not a good place to stay
Happy moments with parents and furry babies were good times
But everything in life is a phase and present should outshine
The desolated spot is still in process to heal
It's ok to shed tears each day and feel
This desolation is not in control some
If this is a punishment then I should face it and overcome
Physically they may be apart
But through soul we are connected and always my part
Desolation is a wound which can be healed with time
Someday I will cover up my desolated spot and be fine !!!
