Interactive

So, sometimes turn to the music

Maybe, it will help the chill

In dousing, in saving, in dealing


So, sometimes turn to editing

Setting those old films to score

As if you could recast it all


So, sometimes turn to writing

Listing, cutting and pasting

But words you spilt ran long ago


So, sometimes you just look

Gazing into corners for ghosts

But you haunt only yourself


So, sometimes you flick through albums

And each turn sets you away

From the familiarity of your present


So, sometimes it matters little

For you, the in-completion,

Stuttering and starting onwards.

  1. Sounds like you captured my last 6 months in a few lines, a beautiful poem once again... Thankyou
