The Soul Sanctuary: 5) Time to Say Goodbye

May 2, 2010

These are the terribly insignificant musings of Aishwarya Nagar at 1:47 AM

Smiling more than usual,

I've never seen you prettier before

With happiness in your eyes,

Soul as clear as the summer skies.

Sobbing into your knees

I've never seen you sadder before

With grief an oceanic puddle at your feet,

Salty drops darkening the ground peat.

But the glance of an eye nearby

Makes me crazy,

I remember every look you gave me

And though it's hard to forget the past,

I'd better forget it fast,

Before I become the dead of the day

And the soulless blackness of the night-

I should forget my past,

I should forget you fast,

But the sails that gleam from my mast

Sail to you....
