When i go for long walks

this one is dedicated to the moments i spent growing up in our beautiful cottage in the suberm of Shimla which is looking for buyers (anyone interested email shailja22@yahoo.com)

"When I go for long walks"

i go for long walks

hoping never to recede back

i go for walks.........

looking for faces which never look back

sometimes the scene is empty

bearing no witness

to the tears which evaporate

i march ahead

avoiding blank faces as they pass

listening to the shuffling feet going no where

wishing it would suck me into its depths

away from the world

away from the cries

away from the faces

away from the fear

i always return to my space ......

envelop myself in my thoughts

and. laying there awake

i wish i didnt need to walk so far .....
