Of Memories And Other Demons...

-"You love someone..then why don't you tell me her name..?"

-"I can't..I mean I will, but not now.."

-"Well..I know she is here..somewhere near you..right..?"

-"Um-mm... yes, kinda'.."

-"See, if you don't tell me now.. I may never be there for you when you would want me to.."

-"Well..oh..why is it so hard..um-mm..it's you.."

-"What..?"

-"Yes, it's you.. the girl I love.."

-"And..?"

-"And what..?"

-"Won't you say it?"

-"Oh..well..you know..I..I just wanted to say.. I love you.."

-"Why did you take so much time to say this simple thing..?"

-"So..I'll be waiting..take your time..."

...

Part I :

"The Happiest Days of My Life.."

...

Gone are the days my darling..

When you used to be mine.

Blue used to be the sky,

The moon used to shine so bright...

A cluster of words inside my heart..

Like a million tiny bubbles,

With a precise randomness,

Formed and exploded all the time...

Uneasy touches, set the fire easily..

Spreading through my senses,

Untangling my defenses,

Against the will to give my all, every single day..

Gone are the days my darling..

When I used to be so young,

For you, there used to be songs I wrote,

That were lost in the changing times..

...

...

-"You said you love me too...then why do you want to quit..?"

-"I can't...I just can't..we can never be together.."

-"But we can try..if we believe we can,we will...I will be there for you..."

-"But..I can't be..leave me..forget me.."

...

Part II :

"Into the dust.."

...

As I take my steps forward in the dubious present,

Push aside the shady curtains of past..

The forgotten rooms appear once more,

A little discoloured, yet enchanting in presence..

The walls still stand straight on the four sides,

Light still creeps through the windows.

Stepping on the tears of dust on the floor,

I walk out, leaving the fading grey shades inside..

...

...

-"So..did you make any girlfriend..?"

-"Come on.. I don't think you should ask me these questions.. You know what I feel about you."

-"Please..it has been long..why don't you spare me..? I said forget me..I did.."

-"But how can you.. you loved me.."

-"Yes.. I did..but these things happen when we are young... It was a phase of young emotions.. time will make you forget me.."

-"But.. we had dreams..together.."

-"No.. all those dreams.. all you did.. it was always you.. you alone.. I was never a part of it.."

...

Part III :

"The sequel of a disaster.."

...

The words left unsaid, have taken out their wings,

Moist eyes have dried up like dead leaves.

Healed have the wounds, that oozed ethereal pain,

The shattered heart doesn't anymore, dream of rain..

Faces have come and gone since that fateful day,

When one I knew wasn't the same to habituated ways.

Masked by the self-made veil of indifference,

You took the other road, passing by my mortal remains..

...

...

-"Do you have a boyfriend..?"

-"Why are you asking me this question..?"

-"Well..I thought you may have found someone.."

-"Well..yes.."

-"You didn't tell me.."

-"You never asked me.."

-"You love him...??"

-"Yes..of course.. he's my boyfriend, silly..and you should find someone too.."

-"I am happy for you.. Don't worry about me.. I'll be fine without one.."

...

Part IV :

"Coming back to life again.."

...

Here are the times sweetheart..

The times when I am me,

The world is here to see,

And vibrant are the colors, that once escaped my sight..

Waves of thoughts, cross inside my mind..

Crash on the shores,

Break open the locked doors,

And out come as words, riding on a tide..

From the core of my presumptive existence..

Erupt radiant vibes of passion,

In the most unlikely fashion,

On my canvas of life, metaphoric hues it paints..

Here are the times darling..

The times when I am old,

And you have gone cold,

Yet I live on, and all I create, will remain in the light....
