08-02-2018 (Travelling Through Memories)

'Love is never enough'

(Everything returns to you...)

The road zoomed out like a memory in the rear view mirror of the car as I moved on, along the path of time, the cracking voice of the stereo playing the same old songs, now with novel meanings.

Dreams distant... Each U-turn up the coiling road livened up like another beginning as reminiscence kept losing consciousness. And I went on, a traveler lost in the vertical dimension. The mountain opened up like a slow creeper with the road branching out like capillaries of streams running up and down towards an unseen estuary. Flying, in the four wheeled carrier of desire, between the sun and the lake on the wings of mercury like a dreamer who keeps forgetting his name, drifting into space and solitude, every moment was a step away from you, every memory a dream.

I walked past the conifers that grew over the slopes like sentries standing on guard at the gateways of a place forgotten in ruins and, as I looked down at the expanse; the sulking lake, the charcoal road, the minuscule cars, moving noiselessly like ants, pulled, as if, by strings towards an endless destiny, i wondered whether I could see you from up there but, all i could see was a graveyard spreading between the horizons. A sepulchral memorial of all the fragile ceramic "forever together"s, echoing between mountain ranges, that broke on the rocky floor of destiny's betrayal that i carry within my eyes like ghosts. I see graves everywhere...and i keep struggling to voice the half written elegy on the face in the mirror....(why?)

'Love is never enough'.
