Notes For My Wife Poem by Nageswara Rao Ravella

I don't know whether you are my sun, my moon or beat of my heart.
Sure, you are protagonist of my life.
With the parents backdrop, you and I have chosen each other by chance.
We loved each other.
No reason is needed for loving.
We have lived through so many things together -happiness, sadness, fights, and caresses.
You have grown old with me.
I don't know how long I am going to live.
Soon, you will be relieved of me since the cells of Cancer are devouring my body and spirit.
I am unafraid, undaunted, unencumbered and completely ready.
You may feel bad in missing me. You need not get shattered.
Your life need not be empty.
Daily chores, terrace garden, interaction with social groups and functions may keep you busy.
Neighbour's barking dog, flats up keep, filing tax returns and news of kith and kin make you emotionally connected daily with Rahul in Torrento.
Promise me to keep yourself safe.
Protection yourself as long as you live.
I wish you sail through your life peacefully.
