Glittering chandeliers lost their sheen,
The twilight zone of life leads their path.
Lost company of near and dear ones,
The next one to them forever ready to go.
They fear to fall asleep in the day and night,
Lest they may not see the dusk and dawn.
Yet staying alive is being full of anxieties for future,
They look at each other with looks of fear stricken fawn.
Afraid of being the last one to be left behind,
They even ask for death, and then curse themselves
Seeing the fear and plight of their better half.
Which is bigger, The fear of being left alone,
Or the fear of leaving their partner lonely?
It is impossible and heart wrenching for them to decide.

A poem full of melancholy and introspection.It is an indication of a poet’s competence whenever such themes are dealt with skillfully ,as in this poem.
a big heart felt thanks for faith in my ability.
remember my comments in particular about layout and style;how the poem looks on the page ?
yes sure
too fatalistic….but the funny part is no one likes to die unless out of mind, giving a lie to this poem .
thanks
