Aftertaste

In response to the Tuesday Prompt at the GodogGoCafe

As we drank and gulped
the last two shots of tequila
burning down my throat
and numbing the pain
that I have to endure
from this day and ever
It was part celebration and
part funeral
for our love memoir

A celebration of all the
precious joyous moments
engraved forever
in our broken souls
A night of cocktails
of mixed emotions
I was leaving you
wanting you ever more

A soul splintered
mixed and rubbed
on those walls
painted with the
miseries
of our broken hearts
Intoxicated and numb
to the core

I can still taste the
burning taste of
our separation
till this day
in the back of my throat
a strong metallic taste
longing for you
evermore.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts. I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones. I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly. Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation. Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

      1. Going through a rough path. Maybe one day soon, I’ll be able to write a little about it. For now, beauty, goodness, love, joy and faith is what I will gather to make a nest and dwell there. Hope you’re well.

  15. A beautiful comparison. The dichotomy of love when it has turned to final shots saying goodbye. Sometimes we let things go, even though we still want them more, because it’s for the best. I felt this.
