Paradisiacal-Tableau: At the Edge of Reason...

Posted by Kaustubh Beedkar at 12:07 AM

Walking down the shores of an ocean,

angelic sand castles brushed my eyes
and before I could behold the dream,
a wave took them by surprise...

heard no answer from the waves

when asked them Why?

came a cold and hollow voice,

gusty wind winked and said, "It was I".

Powerless, ghastly I stood, watching,

The distant ships disappeared,

The aging wine mocked, "time

smoothed me and you are still seared".

Many years have passed

now and I have grown older...

Watching the sun drown day-after-day

those castles in these waters still smolder.

. . . .

And I still stand here, on the shores.

The ocean devoured all my tears.

now, when a reason to smile,

the darkness is drawing me near. . .

I could not think of a nice title, any suggestions???

Memories not washed ashore?
