Unturned pages

Once you lived between the bed covers 
And in the touch so cunningly naive 
In the shallow breaths and faint smiles
You lived hidden in me in the plain sight

In the songs
And the colors we picked 
You lived hidden in me 
Through all the unwarranted nights 

But now you live in my unspoken words 
In every skipping beat of the heart 
Not in the light and in things of present 
We still live in me buried in the pile of time

Kalsi

She was certain of the time but no way could have been certain about the fate that was yet to unfold. Past the grounds of reasoning, logic, or calculation, imagination alone was her guide on this journey. There was neither confusion nor fear; but another feeling of a distinct taste was building up inside her. This time she was more rehearsed and had paid attention to the minute details in rectifying errors made in the earlier attempts. There was little time to pack her reminiscences from the past, and incidences from the present. Aware of the heaviness of this baggage she could have easily chosen to leave all of this here. Yet, decided otherwise. Without her experiences of her being, there was no becoming. Sitting by the window Kalsi was staring into the vast empty grounds, scantly inhabited and strikingly silent; and the row of tall eucalyptus trees along the street swayed gently towards their right. In the field, lone stood a painted wall bordering a construction site with piles of...
