Life was not all ashes
Rinrainbow
Life was not all ashes
Life was not all ashes,
yet it was lavished spreading ash
How could I have portrayed the hardships
I grieved trying to get to you?
The day conceded away in
the wake of someone’s reminiscence
Twilight arrived, and
passed away showing just a dream.
The momentary years
kept longing for better times.
The time was such that
I passed away bearing with your whims.
The life which has the delight of
having you predestined
He knows how to fulfil promises,
so I held on to you.
Over there, life is,
but, another name for inebriation.
And I walked a long distance
to there with an expectation
How foolish was I?
The darkness arrived amidst
the whispering of solitude..
It was a desert plain but
I crossed it chattering.
The spaces of my heart often get frightened..
Whose voice was it?
And whom did it fade away calling?
There is a feeling,
that I hadn’t thought of before.
Time was passing by,
I kept on walking.
I was falling, I subordinated time to my will.
In this silence,
I was dying.
I’ve been living under the shadows of expectations,
I’ve been longing for dreams.
The curtains fall down on
the lamps and cover them.
Do not extinguish the flaming curtains!
Yes How foolish was I?
Life was not all ashes, yet it was lavished spreading ash…..

Chills. I got the chills. Well written. Bravo!
This is a lovely poem. I like the way you have used the words lavished and the imagery of the ashes. But to be honest I am just going to drop this here – are you okay? Are you struggling like a lot of us are during Covid? The poem made me a bit concerned. Please know you are not alone.
Wah, such a beautiful poem. How long does it take for you to come up with these? They make me ponder so great.
