Contemplation


Image result for bad times make the good times better quotes
picture found on pinterest

If eschatology were to be believed,
Life were to end by now, certainly;
but here; I live and so do you,
something says we’ve eons to spend.
Restlessness steals peace of solitude,
drenched in memories; good and odd;
pushing the seams of wrapped, lost thoughts;
like turning pages of an old read book.
Adversities that bedraggled bonds,
sudden flash of a well-kept secret,
debris of broken hearts from deceived love;
conducts that awarded unfair epithets -
tears flow down of joy and sorrow,
as glimpses from this movie are caught,
I wish some edits could be made,
only if some time could be borrowed!
The air of grief then slowly hummed,
the songs of happiness we sang then;
reminding that the bad whiles spent,
are indeed that keeps other times content.

  1. I really love those opening lines the way you used eschatology (which isn't a word I have ever actually heard used in real life). I love the introspective nature of this piece

  2. Yes, 'we' are drenched in memories and there are deceits. It would be hard to make a break now.

    1. Deception is everywhere...and in all relationships... That's the sad part, however, one that (at times) bring temporary joys :D
      we have to learn to live the moment, the only beautiful philosophy :)

  3. If we can only hold on to that ending line we can get through all the rest! Nice.

  6. "glimpses from this movie are caught" that's what it does feel like. Your poem is deep and beautiful.
