THE FAMOUS DRUNKARD

She was his most intimate friend,
they used to spend most of their time together.
Until one day his father sent him to London,
10 years passed without them meeting each other.

She lit a lamp in his memory,
no force could ever extinguish that light.
Finally he returned after 10 years of seperation,
he was dumbfounded at her sight.

She had groomed into a beautiful lady,
and the buds of friendship blossomed into flowers of love.
He was the most handsome man she'd ever seen,
as if he was sent from somewhere above.

But,his parents were against this relationship,
as they were of a higher caste.
As per her mother's wish,yet unwillingly,
she married an elderly rich person at last.

He was shattered beyond bounds,
and this teetotaller hit the path of alcohol.
He sought refuge in the house of a courtesan,
who was the most famous one in the mall.

The courtesan liked this new man,
who was not a bit interested in her.
Unlike other men,who used to get enchanted,
by a mere smile of her's.

She loved this man with all her heart.
despite getting the same in return.
While on the other hand he was dying every second,
in his sweetheart's memories,he used to burn.

When breathing his last breaths,he went to his sweetheart's place,
and deteriorated in front of her gates in anguish.
His girlfriend could not see his body,
and the ever lit lamp had extinguished!
