Rings of Smoke

Where shall the word be found, where will the word | Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence

i am alone,
with myself,and smoke,
and a silence,
which i try to fill with music,
which i dont listen to,anyway,
and random talk,
to fill the gaps,
which seem unpluggable…

i seem to have broken myself,
and now the pieces are hurting,
and somehow,everytime we talk,
i lose a bit of myself,
and every moment we dont…

i know know how i love you,
but i also know i must send you away,
again,
and i will be reduced in my eyes again,
and a bit more shattered,
because i know i love you,
as you do…

when you so calmly laugh and say you don’t,
and when the tinkle in you voice over the phone,
says it all…
how will you live again?and,
what sort of person am i?to again fail you…

there never was anyone quite like you,
and perhaps there never will be,
though there may be other loves,
it just takes time,as you say…
but it never heals.

some things go away,
grief may be,but not sensations,
the tinkle of your laughter,and
the questions you did not ask,
not the answers you never gave…
not the love…

will we ever take our hands in each others’,
and fulfil the promises we never made?

  • About The Line under the Blog Name

    The lines generally are from some poem which I have, at some point of time or the other, loved. I do not mean, by including them, to be snotty or pretentious- but I would love it if you could identify the lines, and take much joy if you were interested enough to search them and read the original poems. If not- you can ignore them.
