BFF

Pavithra Krishnamurthy 27 March 2010 at 7:56pm

I still wonder
Where did we go amiss...
Torn asunder
And now, this dark abyss
Of unspoken words,
Of a million thoughts, unshared.
The hidden fears
Of these souls lay bared.

These torn shreds!
Is it too late to make amends?
For all that is now past,
And matters not, my friend.
I'd like to reach out,
To share your joys and pain.
I'd really like for us
to be freinds again!

With these words
I have now staked my claim.
With these words
Can't things now be the same?

Seasons

Pavithra Krishnamurthy 8:40am on 24 March 2010

As I lay down
Beside you
In the light of the early dawn
I see the seasons
Etched across your brow.

We started with Spring.
Supple limbs
And lithe embraces
Peppered the spaces
Of our togetherness.

And Autumn
Brought out
The warmest hues.
Patient muse—that slowly withered
Into Winter.

She wrote an embittered tale
Of hardness
And deceit.
Till the shadows
Elongated into

This long hard Summer.
The furrowed, parched brow
Lips sunken in this never ending frown.
Marking a territory
Of worry

Not knowing
Whether the weather
Tomorrow
Will bring us
Another Spring.

Lament

Pavithra Krishnamurthy at 8:38am on 26 March 2010

I know not
Whether to lament
The loss
Of a friend
Or commend
Your ambition.

Denuded, defenceless
You stand before me
Your missives—
Words, mails and letters,
Darting slyly,
Weaving tangled webs
Behind veiled eyes.

Shuttered,
Buttressed , reinforced windows.
As your lips
Part in strange whispers
Singing a tune
Your heart won’t strum.

"No faith,"
The drum
Of your heart
Cries out,
"I have to protect mine own".

And the strange tune
Lilting,
Hums
Sawing
The anticipation
Of a promised future.

Togetherness and plenty
Flit easily across the lawn
And old patience pauses
Watching.
The tide of words
Rise and fall.

The cadence
Putting
The final nail
In the coffin
Of our friendship.

Lessons learned...

By Pavitra Krishnamurthy · March 24th, 2010
Epiphany:
If only
I had dropped
The iPod and the car key
I could have saved my knee.

Learning:
Letting go
Is what it must be…
The big lesson
In my destiny.
