Transience…

An evocative poem, through a woman’s gaze, exclusively for Different Truths.

And it seemed ...
Nothing was permanent 
A constant rebellion of conflict would descend 
Her thoughts wandering, all scattered 
Jumping at all wavelengths
Sometimes clamouring for company 
Sometimes enjoying her solitary confinements 
One day it seemed her life was at an end, all bleak desolate resonance 
And the next day it again seemed as if all was supreme and jubilant 
Her mind creating turbulations
A constant...
Some days she felt she could not stand him or his stance 
Going mad every minute, a nuance 
Over his turbulent gestures and words said 
And next day she just loved the way his eyes and hands made love to her, 
      mapping her maps with acute graveness 
Her molten feelings simply swept 
As if nothing existed beyond her adulations, a web 
She wept for that abidingness in love 
Which she could never get ...
Not at all easy in her uneasiness ...
Melting and thawing 
Tying and untying
Living and dying  
Through her laughter 
She often wept 
In the silent roaring 
Of transience
