Obdurate Reminiscence

Obdurate Reminiscence

by Manahill Naik
What is more obdurate
Than the shadowed stains 
Over the moon
Or the unforgotten memories
Of me and you?
*
Everytime
I watch the stars glow
And everytime
I let the tears flow
A movie plays in my head
I watch it over and over
And I wish
I could live it again
*
What is more painful
Than waiting for someone
To come back?
When they've taken a path
With no return
*
Errant thoughts
Don't follow pathways
They're perennial
Like the river
*
I try to get away
From everything 
That continues to stay
*
I had put you
On fastforward
So the sound of your voice
Would never be deciphered
*
Isn't it a wonderful curse?
To forget a person when they're breathing
And miss them when they're dead
*
What is more punishing?
Than to pray for something
That would never exist
*
It was remarkable
How I died
With a beating heart
When you left
Pale blue in my arm
Under the moonlit sky

That night when the stars crashed up together in the sky
Down below, Crash! Crash! The sea was raging, the tides were high
The stars were bruised and crying...
