BETWEEN SILENCES:
BETWEEN SILENCES:
Night caves in with an immoderate hate,
Bringing with it the intoxicating draught of deathly gloom
A stifling silence whispers to the flickering flames of a candle shuddering in the first chills of an approaching winter,
In a vague attempt to break the monotony, I open the old yellowing pages of your journal
Running my fingers over the neat faded writing,
Breathing in the effervescence of nostalgia, feeling your touch on the parchment
A queer upsurge of smiles and tears inflames my veins,
And I wish I could recall the galloping chariot of Time,
To return, even if for one brief spell,
To those days whence together we celebrated innocence and an unconditional bond...
If only, I could get the chance to relive those moments...
Your memories exist, in the best part of my life
And yet, I have continued the journey forward to fulfil our parting promise
When with the final kiss of fleeting twilight,
Looking into your eyes, drowning in the unfathomable dreams they held,
I told you that I would keep you alive in the fragrance of my verses
And see, even after all this time, I have kept at it, always and forever...
