A TAUNTING MEMORY

The most unexpected moments become your favourite memories. 

Here's my small ode to the inspiration that revived my overflow of words, refined my thoughts and restored my sensibility.

A TAUNTING MEMORY

Caught clueless in a strange land

Wandering amidst unknown faces,

My mind froze, entranced

By the glimpse of a mystical stage

Of fine lines and curves.

As a hundred curtains of beauty rose

In unison, a silent exquisite symphony,

A drama unfolded in black and white

Masking the infinite depths of grey,

Followed by a rare streak 

Of a gleaming shooting star.

For the moment to last, I waited in vain

But what remained was its memory

Too prominent for dismissal

Yet too distant from revelry.

Irrevocably I find myself

Trapped in this web of mirage,

And as I wake up to reality

With the inevitable revelation,

In silence, I shudder,

At the sheer impossibility

Of the thought of parting ways

With a farewell.
