Carved in repose


He : 
I will stay by your side

She : 
Until ?

He : 
Until the world forgets
the trees and forest
the stars forget to shine
the wind forgets to sigh

She :
What kind of world would that be?

He :
Ours.

She :
Not mine. 
I need beauty to exist.

  1. So many people posted about people shapes in the tree. I saw the lovers too. Others saw old women. It's interesting that so many of us saw them.

  2. Not easy to strike a balance when she is made to compromise on what she perceives her domain and not be messed around with, female vanity! Nice thoughts Ninot Ma'am!

  6. Ninotaziz,

    This was an amusing piece of writing...A lovers pledge, which was almost shattered by the ending..Her demands even in repose!!

    Pleased to have found your words again Ninotaziz...
