Smoke On the Window Sill

Some scattered memories.....


A lonely shade of gray
Behind those melting skies
That drop of tear
Hiding stealthily in your eyes

Would haunt me
today, tomorrow
for a lifetime....

*********************************

Wish I could reach inside
And wipe them all away
Your pains, your sorrows
And all your gloomy days

Reach deep down
And borrow, just for a day
All that hurts so bad
All that, tears you away....

enig!

the first half was exquisite... i felt the second half wasn't upto it... i don't know why, but maybe bcos I thought the first half is self-contained... with the second half, it loses that...

but then, poems are written bcos something screams within, many times... so criticism misses the point...

keep writing,
asuph.

thanx guys....this was written on a really gloomy day...so, it might be to some extent incomplete or incoherent...

but isn't that how life is sometimes....always that lingering step short of being complete or perfect or contained in itself..

enig!

Ooh that was some breathtaking picture. Whoever it was that took it. Lovely one. Equally adorable was the poem. Well written. Sometimes, the incompleteness lends completion to the poem, paradoxical though it may be. And here, it does.
