I had a someone like this. Lately I have wondered if I should have pushed the barriers against re-entry or if, instead, I should find a new way to keep myself from lifting into the stratosphere when in his presence. _It always took so long to return to normal, after._
Or maybe I am meant to be ok with the long trajectory back to normal.
I am thinking the top of my head just spun off, my love, so that means... great poetry (and so short, how do you do that?)
love comes and goes then returns... loved the title as well... have you heard of the snapping turtles from texas... just a thought... not that love ever snaps back and never lets go...

ReplyDeleteVery well written!
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to check on your poetry--lovely as usual.
ReplyDeleteThere are moments in life that even though they departed and left us, their moments still ignite our lost passion...why so?
ReplyDeleteYou made me reminisce some old memories Gautami!
See how rotten I am, too! And I'd wish to depart because of it!
you definitely have a way with this - you evoked memories in so many of us..
ReplyDeleteGautami,
ReplyDeleteMemories remain for a long time and at times make you wonder what next.
Take care
love comes and goes then returns... loved the title as well... have you heard of the snapping turtles from texas... just a thought... not that love ever snaps back and never lets go...
