Sunday, August 22



1:30

It was that time of the night,
or perhaps day,
I couldn't speak much,
but I had enough to say

Thoughts in silence,
and emotions in fray
Give or take an aberration,
And two varied fates
would be the face of today

Few will understand
this night of dream,
dream I say
cause it doesn't get whiter in years
 
from a memory,
growing evenly into fear...

Some steps insipid
printed vastly in time,
and time it was
where the objection lay

Not enough asked,
not well said,
incompletely complete
like this very night,
or the one I sat through reliving it

In hindsight, a linear memory

that borders short of being fond,
yet comes sweeping back in years
the rush my heartbeat gets,
I can but survive...

I have no questions,
no answers nor claims,
only emotions kicking up
that since long I've renamed...

enamored completely
in the sands of time,
my withering projection
and the lust for benign

A static hollow no matter what I do,

a void I can't fill,
and now, neither can you

The spaces broaden
in the space of time
and slowly
even the flashbacks too

I wish there were
fewer names to remember in life,
in time,
when yours' flashes up high
I could look at it with a sigh of relief

And let go the overkill
that drills me to this day,
whatever it was,
was more special than I can say

Cheer up now,
the dawn is breaking fast,
Warm and tender
but emerging at last...

Tell me, oh timekeeper,
who should I bribe to have things my way?
