☆ ~ Rooted Memories… ~
☆
☆
Sometime in the past, my life was grounded,
moored in the time and space, inexplicably
With the dreams and memories unsolvable
like a conundrum, so much irreconcilably…
*
However hard, I tried to unshackle it,
it got more and more entangled only
Tried intensifying the efforts but in vain
The love refused to sojourn lonely…
*
My will steadily forces me to move forward
but the heart still resides in the yore
Enmeshed in time, gathered new experiences
as the zeitgeist gave me offers, galore
*
In the twisted spiral cloisters of time,
echoes of lost laughters, resonate endlessly
Silent sighs, buried in the anguished secrets,
stepped forward, but got dragged back only…
*
Testament is there, even when you’re absent,
love thrives, which was never there before
So what, if in the past, life was somberly stuck,
but now lovelorn heart flourishes, galore..!
