Oblivion Walk

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)
The world and life are cycles, meetings, farewells and forgetfulness, it is a permanent trend, however for a little over 10 years the saying "goodbye" has become more numerous, generating opportunities for success and chaos, being a personal choice of which side to be. Experts say that to alleviate the duel caused by separations, the best thing to do is to drain in an artistic way, and remember without flagellating an episode that has been overcome, which you now laugh. Stimulating creativity in moments of frenzy give wonderful works. On the other hand, the grandparents suggest that "the letter with blood comes in and tears give you freedom". It means that discomfort is a tool of evolution and healing, as long as the way of working it is not destructive and full of self-love. Now, a poetic exercise applying the mentioned tips:

Oblivion Walk

Today I took the road that used to be ours,
Trying to cross with your memory.
I found it, there were no hugs, no caresses;
There was no surprise, no joy, no sadness.
I did not feel anything when I stumbled upon it
Maybe because I did it on purpose!
-I thought so-


I kept walking and saw our first kiss,
That surprised me, but I did not feel anything else,
No regret. Your memory did not cause pain,
Neither joy, I returned to touch it.


And, it was like touching nothing.
At the end of the road,
It was like opening the secret treasure ;
I started to feel again, to laugh,
To suffer, to live and your memory was motionless
On that road that is no longer ours
But it is empty of emotions,
Being forgotten.
