I count the twinkling stars above my head. One...two...five...eight. The music is good. It’s trance. I have developed a strong passion for it because it is beautiful in every sense. We are having white wine. It smells perfect and also the air above the sea. The sea breeze. It’s a little chilly here may be because it is night time. Eleven...twelve...thirteen. You say something in my ears...something light-hearted because it made me smile and blush.
I close my eyes and feel the tranquility of the breeze kissing my cheeks. My hair is not so long but it is long enough to dance to the tunes of the natural music played by the waves and the soft zephyr together, in a harmony. I hear you counting. Twenty...twenty four.
It’s getting colder now. The music has stopped. My left nostril is all blocked and my eyes are still closed as I don’t want to break the peaceful facade. I call out your name. Twice! But in vain. So I open my eyes. The chilly breeze blurs my vision. I clear it and look around. It seems to be a different place. It is white. All white or rather snowy. There is no one till the farthest end. You are nowhere to be seen. It is like you never even existed. No sign! No clue! And the worst thing is that my companion is silence. My only fear! You remember. Don’t you?
It is oblivious to my presence. It can’t see. But it can feel me and so it stalks! I run to my left to find something or someone for help. But all I have to face is stillness...sheer stillness. And it locks me up like I would never be able to escape. May be it is just in my imagination, may be you would wake me up with a kiss and hold me tight in the warmth of your arms or maybe this nightmare would never come to an end. You said that my fear would make me reach the acme of insanity. Is it that madness hovering in my head or is it happening for real? Are you really gone or am I just too blinded with these unresolved questions?
Fiercely
Screams
Dreary fears
In the muteness.
Pours out and surrounds me.
This is silence! Austerely attaches to my life.
With weapons to drown me within and rupture the veins, it plays hard.
This is silence. A sad reminder of the lost voice, the chord untouched but distorted. It is piercing, pinching and hurting.
It chases me. Like a poignant reminder of the chasing dream I had.
The one which made me run for life.
But this is bloody silence.
My only trepidation
Catches creepily
Chokes
Kills!
Thirty one...thirty four...thirty five. And your voice echoes in my little head as I come to terms with reality.

Okay, a quick confession. I read your comment four times. Not that it was hard to decipher but because it was so good that I could not help but read it again and AGAIN. *smiles again*
So thanks a LOT for giving me the silliest smile of the day! :P

And you two are awesome writers. No doubt about that! =)

Vinati- You took up Lady Fiona's challenge and did such a lovely poetic creation with an equally amazing write up! You also are now following me! What more can one ask! To have someone write so well and follow you! My best wishes for you to be a great writer and a lot of power to your pen..
ReplyDeleteWow! This is so beautiful and excellent! Loved it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you! It's really nice to see friends participating in this challenge. Fiona brings us to another level of poetry writing. :)
*BIG SMILES* to hear that you read the comment four times!!! You're most welcome and I do get a bit carried away with the exclamation marks ha ha! I just get so excited about things and I have to convey that with 'something' via this text we communicate with! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome writing comment, takes one to know one ;)
Ohh, that is funny about you expanding the width. I thought about doing that too and then I realized I would want to decrease it in the future which would mean it would look all messy if someone decides to read it later on :D
Have a great day and KEEP SMILING BIG!!!
