clouded patterns shadows sleep languishing in long stretches of darkness under grey blankets while emissions are tiredly sprayed from a solitary candle who slips on the footsteps of death into a flickering flame dressed in a worn-out attire of wax that has collapsed into a puddle on its stand in furtive quietness the candle takes leave as night descends flaunting complete control and takes guard to watch over the land ~°~°~°~ the day launched itself with reluctant smiles of sunbeams entering with whispering knocks on ash-grey doors feeling uninvited as the rain came down spilling out like tears out of a young girl’s eyes who has had her doll pulled out of her hand ~°~°~°~ why does it rain particularly when all we need is a spot of light why does memory haunt especially when all has been said and done with why does the cleanest of floors show a few specks of dust why does the widest of doors have an iron safety lock ~°~°~°~ perchance, the link is rust left behind by the taint of living in the ancient |

why does the cleanest of floors show a few specks of dust ~*~ it's nice to see the feminine side of this... ~*~ the day launched itself with reluctant smiles of sunbeams entering with whispering knocks on ash-grey doors feeling uninvited ~*~ I know this feeling... ~*~ why does memory haunt especially when all has been said and done with ~*~ my friend calls these "tapes" that are on automatic self-wind... no way to destroy them, no way to tangle them... seemingly, no way of erasure... I liked this read, Sudhir...so many levels, so many places to be pulled, like warm taffy... Thank you. |
