There are some blueprints
tucked away In the dark crevices
of the workshop in my mind
Some unfinished songs of desire
A few broken melodies of pain
and some unending verses
wrapped in trauma of separation
Maybe we were never meant to be together
and were destined to move away from each other
The disharmony,
the asphyxiating silence
and a abrupt ending
We said goodbye and went our separate ways
without a sigh
but our story continued to blossom
between the earth and the sky
In different lands, in different arms
A perpetual ache plagued us
We became restless
Seek each other where ever we could
in whatever we could
Our nights became haunted
by the ghosts of yesteryear
Our days mundane
monotonous and soul less
gaped at us like bottomless pits
We began to crave
crave for some drizzle of love
amidst the dryness and melancholy
Wedded to different people
we led a difficult life
How our heart-strings
got tuned to each other
we know not
It was a rough pathway
we had carved
Writing became our passion
Through our words
we began to compose and create
visions of longing and togetherness
around us
We danced, sang, made love
with our poetry
Words took wings and
began to soar from one continent to another
Our emotions began to travel
to meet in perfect harmony
in another place , another time
filling the empty spaces
of our lives
Each moment an irreplaceable miracle
brimming with hope
and those long forgotten desires
We poured out our hearts
sang the sweetest songs
and then slowly and silently
we drifted apart
I began to hear
the echoes of my own words
All that I composed came back to me
tired, bruised, rejected
And now
I sit amidst the splinters of my dreams
with some thoughts of you
tear-stained and crumpled
folded in my lap
Waiting
Just in case..
I often feel that we humans lead a far too complex life in terms of physical movements and personal friendships. Anyway, this one touched me. I think you may have made a leetle spelling booboo, unless it was intentional (in which case smack me!) – you’ve got ‘ubrupt’ for ‘abrupt’.
Thanks for all the poetry and posts! Most enjoyable. Now, if only someone would cover us in gold for all this hard work…
