Within us, everything was doomed to eternal silence; stilling the sound of blood if it ran in our veins and hushing those desperate screams of life as it ruthlessly strangled it. We lost hope, and with hope, we lost everything.
You whispered to me that pain has infinity to it, ephemeral as the glistening of masks. But I could hold happiness not a moment longer than I could hold the rain. Again I found myself thinking of you. And again I found myself wondering. I never touched you, so couldn't you be a hallucination? But I remembered you were as untouchable as my own soul, yet I couldn't deny its existence.
You said I was a drop in the ocean, but I was an ocean in a drop.
You chose to jump to the world of two dimensions and I couldn't stop you.
Behind the walls of a painting, my love resides

everyone must find their own path, regardless
How easily we sometimes underestimate simple things....great work Maha.
(We're all fans of the multiple dots, can't you tell? LoL)
Brilliant.....I was so caught up in your words........:-) Hugs
...this is so beautiful and so sad...'and never the twain shall meet'. that quote comes from jack sprat but it holds a lot of truth to it. i hope i didn't embarrass myself to admitting the extent of my poetry reading are the precious people i follow on blogger and then, nursery rhymes!
Some very beautiful lines here, Maha. "But I could hold happiness not a moment longer than I could hold the rain." Lovely and so true.
"...but I was an ocean in a drop."
Wonderful.
Fabulous writing!
I FELT THAT Maha..you just touched a wire AMAZINGLY i would say..:)
an ocean in a drop..that sentence TOOK ME!
Wow. Beautiful words. Sad and haunting, yet magic all the same :)
'You said I was a drop in the ocean, but I was an ocean in a drop.'
Wow.
This is so vibrant and fearless.
Maha...your words always have a deep effect on me, but these in particular I found to be of the profoundest poignancy. Within your elegantly eloquent prose, you weave such a deep and meaningful philosophy - one which strikes at the very heart. Your metaphors are always sublime, and this is no exception.
This met my soul today....that one that I cannot deny, that is untouched. Yet you touched it.
Wow Maha, this is wonderfully powerful. You portray such intense emotion in your work and it just adds that little bit extra to it. I loved it very much so...
"But I remembered you were as untouchable as my own soul, yet I couldn't deny its existence."
This whole thing was incredible, but that line really captured something I can relate to right now. You are very talented.
When I read this I am reminded of the beautiful painting of Hesperus by Sir Joseph Noel Paton. Your words definitely paint such an image.
