Your pictures are gathering thoughts, beating their rhythm on the past,
Too shrill, and distant, in my mind, yet heavy sometimes, and downcast.
Fragile is my memory now: a thin glass of old haunted house,
Unframing the stories behind, with musty melange in their rhymes.
The why and the how strode so long, twisting the colour of love,
For once it has gone in the dust, the softness has got bulky shove.
The questions were passing their trails, unstable, on wet murky days,
Letting the waters to flow, deep down in the reasoning ways.
Sometimes might be dark, yet the rain, is hugging my loneliness tight,
While waltzing together to shore, depicting new stars in the sight.
The nights are wrapping the skies with colours of hope, and with dreams,
Rendering memory’s dots to mighty, abundant, peace’s streams.
Still waves from the past are tuning their songs, often calling my name,
So gently, so loved, so fragile, ahead of the sunrise’s frame.
