Buried sorrow

No one knew the sorrow
behind his stern face

while people thought him to be
absent minded,
he was engrossed in deep sorrow
his tears were unseen in the sweaty face

when people felt he was indifferent to
things around
he was absorbed in profound sorrow
his tears were unseen in the raindrops

no one knew the sorrow
behind his stern face
coz it was buried in his heart
& finally buried with him in the grave
