mundane stuff of ordinary kind .............



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.......

  3. What an impressive weeks worth of work, Sonny!
    I 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! :)

  8. @ fridge-

    thank 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...

  10. tracy....

    one of things i found so appealing about you and your blog is its simplicity...there is so much confounding stuff to deal with in our day to day lives...a pleasing picture and your words feel like iced tea ...grins
