Twenty years
of togetherness, you cared like a mother
Swaying
curled inside you, was the best embrace ever!
The only
spot I used whenever I was in the dining room
Ninety per
cent of my time in the house was dedicated only to you!
From dreaming
the wildest of dreams, to killing loneliness
From crying
my heart out, to building in deep thoughts
Coming back
from school/class/college/office, only you could kill the fatigue
You were the
best air conditioner in Mumbai’s scorching heat
Music, chat,
drinking coffee and the “ME –times” were spent on you
How
wonderful it was in swaying to and fro just along with you
You made me
the stunt master of my childhood days,
No waiting
for the turn in the gardens, thus all my friends envied me for having you with
me forever and ever
I cannot
imagine my life without you dear Swingee
Just cannot
live without oscillations!
Just as life
and tides go through Ups and downs,
My days
cannot go without swaying to and fro
I knew you
had to go one day
But never
knew it would turn out this way!
Such love
and care you have reciprocated to me
You
challenged the gravity all the way!
I knew you
were broken but I would continue to sit on you
I knew I
would fall one day but what broke down wasn’t you
We fell down
slowly and the broken iron chain rushed down
The speed
and the impact wasn’t matching, for all your care and love
The way it
hit me should have rushed me to the hospital
A few
minutes of shock and numbness of this awful disaster
Later made
me realise I was all well and fine
With a
little pain on my forehead, arm and leg just for a little while
But most of
the pain oh dear swingee was left inside my heart
Your absence
the next day wasn’t remembered by me
So used to
routine, I couldn’t start my day with you
Countless
times that day I’ve been dejected by that empty spot, simply missing you
Who would be
my best friend now? Who would give me a magic hug?
Who is going
to swing along in my happy times? Who is going to comfort me after all?
A new
physical swing could come but never ever it can take your place
Oh swingee
beloved Rest in peace, I love you and miss you always and always
