Suspended

By

She waits for her lover's return. 

Her bated breath brushes
the darkness away.
Her eyes flicker and sigh
With each whisper of time.

Minutes arrive,
Days depart. 

The grave remains

unmoving heart.

Where there was emptiness, 
there is emptiness still.

Years later, when these tears have dried with the mist will you even recognise the pain that's floated down the years?

Slowly, the sky turns from indigo to violet to a stellar black. I keep sitting—unflinching, unblinking, unmoving. I gaze at the unrained, undusted sky. Consoling hope seems to rain from it. I am lost in my thoughts, not hers. I try to come ashore… ~ Three months have passed since she left. Hesitatingly, I have tried to fill up the immense void of her charmed non-presence. She had called up once after she left. That’s the last time I heard Tanya’s voice. That’s probably the last time I’ll ever hear it again! But what do I do with the memories of that voice? Still so clear, still so true: ‘Hi, it’s Tanya,’ the v
