B. R. Gowani
He basked in that face
Therefore he was
He lacks that bliss
Therefore he is
He cherished the naughtiness
Therefore he was
He misses those chords
Therefore he is
He relished the playful eyes
Therefore he was
He lost that vision
Therefore he is
He treasured the mischief
Therefore he was
He feels the deadly silence
Therefore he is
He loved the coquetry
Therefore he was
He misses that dalliance
Therefore he is
He smelled the love
Therefore he was
He lacks the life-essence
Therefore he is
He felt the glow
Therefore he was
He senses the cold
Therefore he is
He savored the closeness
Therefore he was
He misses the nearness
Therefore he is
He teased and harassed
Therefore he was
He has tears and sighs
Therefore he is
He was blessed with joy
Therefore he was
He is cursed with pain
Therefore he is
He saw the real world
Therefore he was
He lacks the paradise
Therefore he is
He was the prophet
Therefore he was
He lost the Goddess
Therefore he is
He had the Persephone
Therefore he was
He is drowned in autumn
Therefore he is
He had the companion
Therefore he was
He is all alone
Therefore he is
He was with the heavens
Therefore he was
He is in hell
Therefore he is
He was full of life
Therefore he was
He is just breathing
Therefore he is
He was an agile paramour
Therefore he was
He is a dead man walking
Therefore he is
