Parting IV

White canvas
And a painted dream
Of white swans
A beautiful lake
Green grass surrounding

Years passed by
The canvas grew old
Swans turned yellow
Water splashed on the lake
Green turned brown
Wear and tear
And one day
The canvas tore

Parting III

As the cool breeze passed me by
A wave of shy smiles, some laughter
affection and love revisited
I sat on a bench
staring at the water
thoughts smiled
Past so beautiful
a present so unbelievable
And then I woke up..

Parting II

Tired, eyes wide open

words, sentences,

un deciphered,

heard yet un heard,

food gobbled,

...Taste unknown,

music played

not listened,

tick tock, alarm

rush rush, go

rush rush, return

tick tock tick tock tick

Parting I

Eyes refused to see the other

Good bye halted at the throat

Heart beats awaited a voice

But silence spoke

Bodies moved away

And the memory remained

Parting

calm, sound of silence

battleground of thoughts

Uncertainity lingers

Empty and drained

Hope is a wonderful word.

Threads

Bound on the wrist,

Expressions defined

Music floats

Dancing doll

Tap Tap Tap

Hands and legs

Side, front and back

Sit!!!! Stand!!

Bend!! Stretch!!

Movements set

Smiles drawn

Blank!! Blurred!!

“Twinkling” eyes,

Dancing doll

Tap Tap Tap

Hands and legs

Side, front and back
