"flow"
they said
"move on with time"
and yet I couldn't
as tears bloated the sleeves
of my crease-less shirt
flow I did
with the gulls that hovered
across those lakes
where we plundered the waves once
remember, darling?
flow I did
to the mesmerizing rhythm
of rain drops brushing
tickling our love
we hid beneath the clouds
in silent ecstasy
flow I did
holding the shells that carried
the sound of the seas
beyond which we dreamt
a life, now forgotten
but do you remember, sweetheart?
I fail to flow today
the burden weighs heavily
on my frail shoulders
I sink deep
into the abyss
of twinkling nothingness

DeleteI feel good once I see the sad feelings poured unabashedly..because that is what is being human...yet, my last stanza would be:
ReplyDeleteAnd that's when
I find getting lifted up
By an unseen spirit
My strong shoulders
Carry my dreams
I look up and sunbeam
hits my face and says
"Hello"..
