Footfalls echo somewhere
in the deep recesses of my being
it seems my memory has developed wings
back and forth, back and forth
tantalizing me with all sorts of things....
.
Some of the ordinary stuff
that's still with you......
.
a wet October morning
treasured letters few
fifteen moonlit nights
five wordless moments
a couple embraces tight
tinkling of my bangles
the salty smell of your ocean
washing that always got wet
a single white carnation
all evaporated now
like drops of dew....
This mundane stuff of ordinary kind
somehow i seem to have left behind
scattered around your heart
in unsuspecting places
thoughts of me will always crop up
in lingering traces....
Difficult to gather, for aught i can say
so unrecorded did it slip away...
Bottle it up if you can
and post it to me
treasured or gathering dust
of what use it is to thee?
Footfalls echo somewhere deep down
and fade...
down the road, which we did not take
in moments
when i least expect it
my feet falter and slack
hoping in vain
to hear words
that call me back.......
*this is also an effort to share with you all...what i viewed from my lens this past week. The prompt is for

ReplyDeleteso beautiful Sonny... often it is the ordinary that holds the most sanctity if we take the time to appreciate these small blessings.
ReplyDeletethank you...:))
ReplyDeleteWhat an impressive weeks worth of work, Sonny!
ReplyDeleteI love the tonality/color balance/saturation in these - you always do an amazing job of capturing/creating the 'feel' of your subject(s)... beautifully done! :)
you always have such wonderful photos sonny...also love how you capture the feeling, the smell of these roads we never took and wish somehow, we had..
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your week. Nothing ordinary or mundane about the way you share it!
ReplyDeleteMundane things can be the most wonderful of all.

ReplyDelete@ fridge-
ReplyDeletethank you !
when i write and when i take a picture...there is only one thing i look for...to close my eyes and hear if it speaks to me....and to somehow convey to my readers what i was feeling without confusing them too much...
@ claudia
ReplyDeletewe wish
we always do...in retrospect
but if wishes were horses...beggars would ride...smiles.
i just love it when you stop by...
