Good things buried should be
resurrected. Good things forgotten
should be remembered. Good things however painfully gnawing should be stoically
endured. The days were retrospective, melancholic, restless, hazed and foggy,
insipid and plane.
I saw the stolen glassy rays from the tree
tops playing on your cheeks
And I felt the bubbles of poetry clustering
on my head
They refused to take shape
They refused to take shape
They
dissolved the moment they were bulged
Like unrained clouds dissolving into
nothing
Unblessed Water unblessed Rain
Unblessed Poetry.
Can you see me
in the dark when your eyes sail far into the empty space at nights? Once I
described you as a perpetual agony of my soul. Are you the same? Differences
can hardly be seen for eyes whose vision is oblivion to the dalliance of colours.
Colours once so subtle and effervescent. So tender and watery, they spilled and
smeared on my fancy that I could almost see the stains on my fingers. There was
a time I could imagine you in hues of sepia, your every detail, every angle wafting
the embalmed memories of antique love. Like you and I have evolved from
incarnated idols. I tried to embody you in strange metaphors for there was
nothing as gratifying as poetry for praise. Some people are so beautiful that
no truth will impart glory to them. Words should weep if thoughts never born
for them in diluted truth and diluted lies. I searched for words that would
make you want to disappear, to make you want to live only in words. Good things
will resurrect never to give redemption for the liar in me. Never to give
redemption for the frailty in me. For the sinner in me. Lie, frailty and sin.
Sometimes they are too good to be bad. You make me an old woman waiting for a
redeemer who does not exist. You make me a little girl leaning onto the stairs
for a visitor who does not exist. For I have made you invisible inch by inch
from the moment we met. I thought I can’t but I could. I rubbed my eyes and saw
your eclipsed beauty lamenting in the light. I made you invisible. It was
hilarious to see you unseen in the light, your truth lost among the lights. I
laughed.
Infatuations
must die. But wait. It should go a long way. Let me leap into the fire for no
water to extinguish it so soon. There is completeness to be half burnt.
Infatuations not pernicious should not be loathed later. As long as the tempter and the temptation are
not known of it, it’s as sweet as untold melancholy lisping itself in the ever consuming
time. Be not grieves of the evanescence of your charm. It will feed itself even
in the drought of passion and dream. “In me nothing will be extinguished or
forgotten”. Good things buried deep should be resurrected to blow your
redemption out. Good things are never to be redeemed for redemption is often
for the bad than the good;)
Good things in form of your lovely writings appear after long breaks Nasneen:)

DeleteThis was written so beautifully..in me nothing extinguishes..
ReplyDeleteThis feels uncannily like a continuation of your last post...
ReplyDeleteRedemption and Resurrection - you seem to have dissected these words of all its guises and veils with a surgeon's precision and laid it out bare naked in the open for all to see and feel. Emotions divested and stripped of all its vulgarities, can be painfully easy to confront :)
"Emotions divested and stripped of all its vulgarities, can be painfully easy to confront".....How can it be conveyed prettier! You struck the chord...as always!:)
DeleteFrom totally abstract to concretely abstract.
ReplyDeleteI am seeing a different Nasnin here.. long way to go!
and Extinguish not! Forget not!
Add more embers .. to glow ..to ignite .. the words which emanante from your finger tips will be much more beautiful! Love always <3
Thanks Pygma....I am ignited! Be with me here always....
Deleteto enlighten
to enkindle
to ablaze my words
to simply smile:)
Love and love and love Pygma:)
