Stillness

NaPoWriMo-2024

Day-19

Prompt: To write, What are you haunted by, or what haunts you? Write a poem responding to this question. Then change the word haunt to hunt.

Haunted by your presence

in the shadows of the night

Remembering, the bewitching 

passionate smile

that stoked the heart 

crushing with desires

in the rain-soaked evenings.

The inseparable us

created many magical memories

swaying on the wave of distant chimes.

The evenings are not the same anymore,

those cherishing memories, 

hunt like a shadow

for the lost time.

There is an echo in 

the stillness, the walls 

which time couldn't mend

will carry the bottled-up pain

haunting till eternity.

  1. A hauntingly romantic, sad poem! These lines spoke to me:
    ‘those cherishing memories,
    hunt like a shadow
    for the lost time’
    and
    ‘There is an echo in
    the stillness, the walls
    which time couldn't mend’.
