Poem #31 Ruminations.......


Dreamt of so many firsts, with you to nurture,
Was so sure that you would always be in my future;
Never supposed, I would eventually, will for lasts,
Never thought that you too, would become my past.

Turbulent winds, that kept the sadness around me in a swirl,
Ceaseless wet cheeks with cries, like I was still a little girl;
So many dreams, all let loose, making wild patterns in my mind,
So many bits, scattered like a jigsaw, a match hard to find.

Want to lock the throes of bygones, and throw the key away,
Erase from my memories, how your love was led astray;
Who knew that there would come, in my life a day,
When I would break from your path, and choose one that leads me awry.

Trying to find a shred of reality, in my world now filled with your guiles,
Unrequited the query remains, was there any truth between the lies?
Then I console myself, that, it’s but a foolish attempt,
To question why fate, frowned on me with such contempt.

What matters now is that, you are no longer my companion and friend
My dreams, my hopes and life as I know it, are all at its end;
There’s no point in trying to pass the buck, or asking why this chapter even started,
Eventually I will appreciate, that by a wonderful stroke of luck, I got not, what I wanted.
