..... ..... .....

There are times
when your memories
seem to be gone forever
when the image
of your face
becomes unclear, shady....

There are times
when I think
I can live without you
when it seems
I have forgotten you...

There are times
when your voice
doesn't resound in my ears
when my conscience
seems willing to let you go...

but amidst these
tiny bits of emancipation
I live my life
still in the glorious past
still enveloped by your arms
my breath is fragmented by yours
and then there is only one name
that keeps pounding

Very nice poem. Superb. I can relate to it personally as well. Hope the turmoil gets over soon.

Well said, Nidhi...well said. The eternal torment between brain and mind, emotion and logic always persists. Hope this is just a figment of your creativity....
