Lost and gone.

Like a silhouette,
In candle light.
He stood out
But never shined.
Ducking his head,
With shame, remorse.
An evil smirk
Spreading across
The face paled.
The blood flowed
Seeping through
The murky snow.
One last time,
The eyes close.
A single tear
Of regret and loss.
A chilly wind,
And he’s gone.

another ending, a new beginning...




I have stumbled on another ending, a new beginning maybe, another one. I am drunk on good-byes! They don’t seem to end and yet they haunt me, reminding me of the past lost; the melancholy of losing what I acquired and of that which I didn’t. People loved and lost, people that I know will be lost, now sooner than ever, in the ramble of life as another one of the dreaded ending approaches. Change. Unsettling, unidentified and mysterious adventures that start afresh, clouded with the pains and rains of the farewell. String of the past we may hold on to, even resemble the present to it but that, that time and gleam won't be there. The past cannot be the present, or the present the future. We'll walk on regardless of our efforts to stay behind because in truth the past is what propels us forward, either by a desire to start anew or to blind the pains from the past. Change I hate too but change cannot be forgone, as imminent as it is. For we meet to part and we enter to leave.

Momina.
