If only it was simpler to forget

People ask me to stop thinking
About the things that I can no longer change.
A leaf that falls from the tree
Cannot be attached back;
It doesn’t belong there anymore!
They ask me to forget the unpleasant things
And stop being depressed.
If only it was simpler to forget!

If only it was simpler to forget
The image of her delightful face
Replaced by her blood-soaked ruins!
The sweet scent of her hair,
Lost in the stench of the gore!

If only it was simpler to forget
Her horror struck eyes wide open
In disbelief of the terrifying moment;
Could it all have just been a dream?
Could every terrible event end with you waking up and quelling from the nightmare!?

If only it was simpler to forget
My helpless effort of pacifying
Her voiceless heart screaming in fear
Trying to warm up her pulse-less palm;
Cold in the aftermath!

If only it was simpler to forget
The guilty feeling of having let her sit
Where I was sitting, moments before the tragedy
The guilt of having taken her on a
Never-returning journey

If only it was simpler to forget
And let go of the ghosts of her absence;
Of endless conversations about forever and eternity;
All destroyed in the blink of an eye
All washed out in the flood of tears

If only it was simpler to forget
And loosen up the shackles
Of the neurons, holding all the memories
And let them fly to the non existent land of solace
People ask me to forget!?
If only it was that simple to forget!

 

~Dedicated to a friend who recently survived an accident but lost his friend~

And as we speak

And as we speak,
The Sun somewhere, is setting for a beautiful dusk!
And somewhere else, someone’s waking up to the Sunrise call!

And as we speak,
There is someone saying goodbye to Mother Earth!
And a Mother is welcoming her newborn child!

And as we speak,
A billion clocks around the world are at a billion different seconds of the twenty four hours.
But the only thing I want to carry to my grave,
Are the memories of this very moment, of ‘You and I’.

I SEE IT ALL

I see us there
Walking past the greens
My pinky clasped in yours
And set out towards the skies

I see us there
Flying over the clouds
Sailing over the seas
And spending our time in bliss

I see us there
Singing our hearts out
Dancing to the rhythm
And lost in our madness

I see us there
My fingers talking to your hair
And your sweet lips stroking mine
And the magic that’s in that kiss

I see it all
As I absorb the leftovers
Of all your dreams
On your pillow case

An Escapade

I’d delve into the ocean
Of seamless chaos
Where there’s no escape
From the turbulent plight

I’d surf over the marine
In search for tranquility
Waves and storms are an infinity
In the path away from a world of riot

I’d build an island of musical notes
Flat lands and mountains
Sharp rocks for shielding
Fresh natural air and bright sunlight

I’d sing all day with the skylark
And lose myself till the dark
I’d light up the sky with a line up of stars
And keep from hiatus for a million nights.
