SNAPSHOTS

Snapshots!
Black, White,
Black, White,
Colored…
All vie for
attention!
A plethora of
snapshots!
They stare at
me!
These faces!
Each tell a
tale
Of long spent
passion,
Of a frenzied
love!
I stand amidst
them,
Invoking
memories
Of what had
been…
The dream
laden eyes…
The trembling
lips…
Excited and
swollen
Their desire
As they devour
One another,
Tracing a new
Love story…
The tender
arms
That hold promises
Of eternal togetherness,
Ecstasy
transporting
Them on
gossamer wings
To a world of their own.
Unaware…
Oblivious…
That all fades
in time…
Pales…withers…crushed
To dust….
Their glazed
eyes
Plead for
answers…
Haunted faces!
Where did it
all go?
Their screams
Almost audible…
The longing
that
Tore the very
soul,
The passion
that
Ignited in a
blaze,
The hopes,
The promises
The love that
was theirs
Timeless…
Where?
Why?
I have no
answers…
Silence my
only recourse…
The sea of
faces
My very image…
I walk away,
Turn the pages
of my life,
As a lone tear
slides
Down my heavy
bosom…
Their love…
A fairy tale
now
Their faces…
Inanimate and
lifeless
Their hopes
and dreams…
An illusion…
I walk away
wiser,
Glancing one
last time
At the fool
Still trapped
in snapshots…
