Silhouette

Though the snaps are hazy,

The glimpses keep on recurring,

On and on, replaying,

Making me steadily crazy.


When I would go hiding,

Alone, to climb up the stairs,

Away-  from the stares,

To reach the bottom, sliding.


When I would go seeking,

Alone, to catch up with the water-

Past the groove, onto a river-

Cold and gentle, endlessly flowing.


But now, at this moment,

My heart aches.

Being hardened by the stakes,

Leaving me behind, to torment.


My steps don't lead ahead- 

To climb up the steps.

The endless flow, I sought up to

Has reduced to null.


I feel stuck up

The light fades down

And all that I hold up to-

Is the silhouette of my future.
