The first time we met,
Didn’t seem that way!
A lifetime before,
Surely…!
But how does
The time elapsed
seem so little?
How we seemed
to just pick up
from where we
left off-
When Fate perhaps
dealt a heavy hand-
That we found difficult
to play!
And so, the Carousel
stops here, this lifetime-
And we meet – again.
Funny, isn’t it?
How life always
comes round-
A full circle!

Sort of connected mildly to the earlier post :) Something that came as a sort of sequel, if you wish :)
"And so, the Carousel

read both, the first one, was exciting and breathtaking, all about new love...and this one, so beautiful, slightly sad, touching, someway in which only you can write maam..
You dont leave scope for words. Do you?
ReplyDeleteThe carousel spins, and within the blink you cover the tapestry of images in a word-revolution!
Amazing! Hope you take me into the tutioning classes of imagery :)
Aayushi, thank you for the sweetest of words... :)
ReplyDeletePrabhu :) Oh I really dont know about the words.. :) :) Just happens :) Thanks for the good words :)

ReplyDeletemuahh! :)) thank you for this :))
ReplyDeleteAnd UShus I am realising now what all the words mean :D
Ushus ...Prabhu has said it ...you really dont leave scope for words do you?:))
I mean only you could write it just so...and then even though its all there..yet its open to so many interpretations....one could take it where one wanted to:))
and just like Prabhu these are the ones that say so much...the ones that say the most perhaps?:))
And so, the Carousel
stops here, this lifetime-
And we meet – again.

Ushus, Some of your lines speak volumes about our life. This is one of those which I can also understand well. You know I am poetically challenged most of the time :D :D
Solilo :) Thanks :D! No, you aren't poetically challenged at all :) It's all in the heart, actually :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful use of words... the poet is back !!! it seems... and dont you worry coz I am not stopping stalking you at all !!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI can be busy not to post... but cant stay completely away !
Don't they say? Life comes a circle. :) :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Peace.
Karthik, yes, they do say that :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the brightness of your words!
You always excel in the art
ReplyDeleteof writing about matters of the heart
while some pierces like a dart
the rest soothes like symphony of Mozart.
You do surely excel in the art

Hi Usha,
ReplyDeleteNice words there.
But if you end up where you started should it always be a circle? Why can't life come a square or a triangle, eh?
Cheers,
Salil
circles happen whenever we are tied to a central point...like pelted stones to sky we try to get ourselves free..but love pulls us back..and just keep on continuing our journey in endless circles..
ReplyDeletelike lives of satellites..
connected well.
very very well written..
Usha.....wish you were here to see the expression on my face..beautifully worded.Sometimes u r at a total loss of words...and this is one such moment...touches achord somewhere deep within..what can I say, except salute u lady for this lil masterpiece.....Yes,life is a full circle.
ReplyDeletePRG, thank you for that wonderful response in verse! Hats off to you for the way you do it so easily :)
ReplyDeleteSalil, I am not too good with geometry, and well, most often therefore go around in circles. Maybe that would explain this circle too :) Thanks for being here, with each new post :)
MIP, what a connection you make, and what an image you draw with words there. Something you really excel at! Thank you for the resonance also!
Poonam, now you make me blush with all those superlative words :)Awww! Thank you so very very much!
