Bid goodbye

Posted on by Reena Saxena

menacing
shadows
crouch behind
shape-shift
-to scare
-to dare

till I stretch
my hand
to touch it
feel them melt
in my palms
crumbling down
like cigarette ash

-remnants
of past bitterness
blazing embers
of aching memories
I give my regards
to past lives
and bid goodbye
to breathe free

  5. Love this! I wasn’t sure if this album would tickle anyone’s muse but here it is. A descriptive interpretation of the image and I like the way you pulled in “I give my regards”.
