The eyes were seeing things
What apparition, playing tricks
What apparition, playing tricks
Someone familiar out there?
Ruefully..
Check !
Ruefully..
Check !
Someone beckoning in the distance
So he thought
An uncanny resemblance
How she had transformed
Sultry in the failing light
He asked, was it for real?
Stagnant in thoughts
Check again!
Undaunted he surged forward
He called out her name and waited….
There was no response
Just the cool of the day
There was nothingness
His stomach squirmed
His mind numbed
He yearned for her
His senses malfunctioned
Lost in thoughts…
She had been long gone
Reality was not easy to accept
But dreams lingered on...
Ruefully…
A quiet prayer….solace in silence!

There would be someone…!

They say nature abhors an absence and the imagination will try and fill the loss - great writing.
ReplyDeleteGreat poem. Somehow our brains have a weird way of protecting us from the pain of loss....
