Silence flowed like a
lost river
her banks embracing
bare land, and river,
her soul still flowing
like love
of a mad lover
embracing waves
rising and falling
inside, waves
that carry ages and
ages of moments lived,
pearls of life, love--
she untied every
yesterday that was she
that was life,
memories--
she lay in a corner
of all that is a memory
peeking from where everything is
bizarre and fading
like tears rolling down,
down through a blushed
cheek and
half smiling lips tasting saline;
she lay there
peeking into the corridors
where she can no
longer put her steps back
where she can no
longer put words back
that were lost
between moments of ego and pride,
her eyes behold past
and waves of future
drags at her feet;
she lay there where
the floral corridor
holds her back and waves
of future drags at her feet.
She lay down there
in the corner staring,
imbibing, that every
song begins for an end;
she lay down there
in the corner
to catch a breath
that the sweetness will linger.
The sweetness will linger & so will the memories.

Interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to visit.
Hey! Tastes so much like defeat to me,or at least mourning what can't be undone, what could have been. It may have driven her into madness, though perhaps she can catch some sweetness along with her breath. Chilling.
ReplyDeleteNicely done with great words"..thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteMay the sweetness be everlasting! Nice magpie.
