Living In A Memory.....


Turning the yellow tatters of her diary
Attempting to relive some moments of life......

Moments of laughter,

Moments of smiles,

Moments of tears,

Moments of sighs......

Taking a sip from the wine of love

Fermented with age.....

Gulping down the warmth in her neck

She knows, it won't last for long......

Years have been spent with age old memories

Yet she fingers through them

Relishing her feelings like some new notes of music....

She smiles

As she immerses into that world...

And yet again the pages are soaked

With the silent drizzle....

Touching some unhealed wounds

She quietens her cries of pain...

"Its gone, its over

Lets leave the past alone"

Yet the condolences stabbing with regret

How long has she lived in that never ending night?
How long has she been lost

In the depths of those eyes?

Neither her diary, nor her smile
Nor the renewed shower of tears

Nor those spark-less eyes

Answer these rueful questions
'Coz no one knows.....no one ever will...

Yet she dwells in her deluded world

And resumes the longing
In her timeless wait

"A morning will come

Heralding with my name

And I will see, I will love

That beautiful face again..."

There weeps the dimmed moon

Overwhelmed with grief,

Yet she clings to her decaying hope

The hope of living.....

Living with her life
With her world, with her love

With that someone...somewhere....
