Frozen Fires...!

I have felt for long a certain pain that stops at a certain point
A pain that nags on and thus stays
Staying with it till one gets used to it....
Learns to live with it and
Often cries in the darkness of the night
Face down on the pillow
With hair falling over the shoulders

It is the pain that nags and doesn't delve deeper or rise into a blaze
It stays frozen leading to a despairable helplessness
A pain that lies suspended between nowhere
Moving from a nothingness to another nothingness...

Wherefore Henceforth..?

Life goes on and so does everything else; even after having lost that
One precious thing that you always had.

Today, as I sat watching images of reality that often brought tears in my eyes (as it did today) too,
I wondered how he felt about himself and those around him…

Like a blind assassin he walked into my life…
Fielding his way, paving a path through emotions
Growing seeds of faith and belief

Its my life now of challenges and being challenged
Of ways, and waywardness
Of frequent visits and visitations….
