A LOOK AT LIFE-97
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MIHANTY

            BE WITH ME

You have seen the world
So also I
You have travelled a lot
Dined and wined 
So also I 
I matched your steps in every field 
Be it in air, water or on earth 
People recognise us from a distance 
We have nothing to prove 
Our success is our trademark 

I have so much to share 
The same may be with you 
Now there is the much-needed leisure 
We have been looking forward to since long
Let us for a change sit together for a while
Share our feelings 
And look at each other 
The way we used to 
When I was your sweet bride
And you are my handsome bridegroom 

What are you looking at?
My eyes, cheeks, neck and skin 
Yes I have grown old 
So also you
We are struggling to keep us young
By hiding ourselves in heavy makeup 
But our wrinkles tell the real story 
Our mirror says we are not the same
As we were long before

Do you remember 
When I last told you
I love you and you reciprocated 
It must be long since 
We are staying under one roof
But we have not met since years 
Whenever we met, we met in parties
As strangers

Can you recollect 
How our kids smiled and started walking 
For the first time
Their first nursery rhyme 
Progress report and parent teacher's meeting 
Their petty wishes and trifling demands 
How they grew up and developed 
Socialising with faces
Which are not their father's and mother's
You have hardly seen their childhood 
These moments will never come
You have missed them forever 

We never lived
We missed our life
Our life is the story of our success 
Parade of ego  and nothing else
We have lost all those beautiful moments 
Which could have been ours 

I don't want to go outside
No more I am hungry for success
I want you by my side 
Let the 'I' merge in you and 'you'  in me
What remains is we
Our tears and smile 
I have enough tasted that saltless curry 
People call success 
You are my world
And I am your love.
Let us celebrate life
Be with me
I will be with you
Right in front 
For the rest of life
Enjoying every bit of it,
Listening to its symphony
Relishing the moments
And be with its ebb and tide
