Elixir

Petrichor!

The word rang

Inside her mind

Like a bell.

The echoes

Reverberated

In an atmosphere

Of nostalgia

And stillness

Like a

Few frozen drops

Of wisdom

And sadness.

 

The smell

Of the damp

Wet earth

After the rains

Brought up memories

Of lost loves

That had once

Seemed like the

Manifestations

Of divine happiness.

Narratives of bliss

Reminiscences

So eternal, infinite

And timeless!

 

Drowning

In the headiness

Of love,

Drinking

It endlessly

Like ambrosia.

Soaking

In the attention

Of the lover in frenzy,

Sinking

In the arms

Of the beloved

In ecstacy.

Living through days

Of enchanted bliss.

In a state of magic

That had seemed

Like a dizzy

Spell of euphoria.

Every moment

Created a history

Of a poignant memory.

 

Yet,

It all ended.

In a big

Wide chasm

Of heaviness

And a dull

And quiet

Darkness.

Like a void

Of space

In breathlessness

In a rhythm<

Of peace

And restlessness.

It left behind

Bitter sweet memories

And a deep

Loneliness.

 

Memories

Of a distant

Utopia

Which was

Once so dear

Even now

Seemed near.

It struck a chord

Somewhere

In the

Innermost core

Of her heart.

The note was pure

And it

Left her longing

For more.

 

Saudade!

The wisdom

From an awareness

Of the presence

Of an absence

Filled the essence

Of her mind.

Like a sip

Of elixir

That had

Seemingly

Lifted the tragic

Curtain of a crisis.

A vision of

The cycle of life

Rose like a spectre

Suddenly

Before her eyes

Like an illumination.

An anagnorisis.

 

An enchanting symphony

Of light and darkness

Enveloped her

Subliminal non existence.

A transcendental melody

Filled and fulfilled

Equally her being

And her non being.

It brought into harmony

The mortality

Of her existence

As well as the Elixir

Of her

Divine Immortality.
