Humm trumm

Silence engulfed everything
I wanted to say, unkempt
Somethings I couldn’t file away
During the annual catharsis

Fish… assailing my senses
The scales ripped away ,the onions chopped
The garlic and the ginger
Laid away, neatly stood witness

Only once I looked back
“Objects in the rear view mirror”
Greeted me
And I said take me there again

I loved your hair
Black … like the darkest thunder
Falling over your face delicately
Like the morning dew drop that
Caressed, that ventured unto
That delicate landscape

I loved your eyes.. two black buttons
And yet you saw things out on a chilly fog
Shadows and ghosts that make you shiver
And I said “Oh no its just weariness”!

Like a schoolboy …spouting words of
Romance and equanimity ,one to impress you
And the rest for my friends.
Shall I water the stone ?

That spout I drink of today
I say ahem and hello
To my love and her hindsights
I say 20/20 you knew it all

I know this too .. you liked being sung to
Sleepy .. fairy tales of gremlins and goblins
And I sang that lullaby and wrestled those ghosts
I know love now... through these blind eyes

Thank you thank you
For being a part of me
And taking away some
My angel, Quo vadis ?
