Like an a corrugated iron nail in the ocean
Like the wax sliding down a candle
Like a fish thrown on the shore by the vindictive waves
Like a lonely stranger walking alone on a cold winter night
Like the smoke that blows away into eternal nothingness
Like a sad song that reverberates into oblivion
Like lies and contempt that has no meaning
Like a soft whisper that is heard, and then is lost again
Like a lonesome tear flowing from a brown eye
Like a discarded photograph, faded with time
Like a beautiful dream, erased from your consciousness
Like a forgotten memory, that is not forgotten after all
Like an old, torn out yellow-papered book
Like a broken autumn twig on the ground
Like a paper boat that lost its way, soggy and adrift
Like a soft caress, that is felt briefly, and then never felt again..
Like a huge fire burning my life! ;)
ReplyDeleteLOved it!!! <3
You should have written this in the 70s...some of the classic rock bands of the time (which are still my favourite) would have surely taken your lyrics for one of their songs!

"Like the wax sliding down a candle" ... :)

ReplyDeleteManu, I'll gladly take that as a compliment! Thank you! :D

ReplyDeleteAnd here come the winds of change,
ReplyDeleteSweeping the roads of dried autumn-yellow leaves,
Paving the way for more to fall,
They don't.
For, these are the winds of change.
Eagerly waiting for more of you :)
WOW. You write SO well pee :) I'm eagerly waiting for more of YOU!
ReplyDeleteWhat you wrote reminded me of the song 'Wind of change' by The Scorpions:
"The future's in the air,
I can feel it everywhere,
Blowing with the wind of change."
Colon phi :)
Thank you Gagan ma'am! :)
ReplyDeleteDi, I DO write about things that make me feel that the world is beautiful. But I feel that all human emotions are important. Grief is very beautiful sometimes. It makes you feel the way you do when you're happy :)
