Two Corpses
Yesterday as I was turning the pages of history
I came across two corpses
They were from a time whose images were blurred
Though the ravages of the blowing winds had them disfigured
I recognised that they were but me half a decade ago
There is no pity in my heart but a disquieting feeling
In coming years will I again accost corpses?
And would they be me of this day and of this age
I came across two corpses
They were from a time whose images were blurred
Though the ravages of the blowing winds had them disfigured
I recognised that they were but me half a decade ago
There is no pity in my heart but a disquieting feeling
In coming years will I again accost corpses?
And would they be me of this day and of this age

life goes on tony! corpses you will accost, numerous and ever diminishing..the longer you stare, the more you'll realize that the those corpses were never who you think they were...they were a fleeting experience, sudden and pointless.
the imprints died and they die for everyone..it is the more perceptive ones that can see them falling by the wayside.
still admiring your depth
grrrr

guess you are not in club fighting demons.... and you don't leave foot prints for ghosts to haunt you....
corpses are falling like nine pins behind me as i walk

I am encountering many corpses of my own these days tony. it seems there are multiple deaths a day, it makes one wonder, is this all a part of growing old or growing young.
as always i seek answers to problems no one else realizes are there!
grrr

dont pat urself on the back too much...most people see demons within themselves .... some confront and vanquish them , some learn to ignore or live with them ...
the best part about the multiple deaths is that there emerges a newer you , that sustains your interest in yourself....otherwise one would be bored to death with one's own self....

I guess each one of has some part of us that we try to discard or not acknowledge as a part of ourselves.. yet it is very much there hounding you at times.. then times hibernating only to wake up.. when you thought that you had moved on .. it comes back.. all of it..
the pain never goes... some of us are born with a gift ... gift of living with the longing, the pain of what it could have been..
