Awaiting Ruins

Awaiting Ruins

A Poem by Jyoti_Ablaze



The minutes turned into hours
Hours into days, days into months
And months into years
Eons slipped by while she kept waiting
For nothing but a glimpse of him
Her eyes were empty and dry now
But a well was accumulated of her tears
Brimming and dripping droplets of blood

Thank you!
whenever it comes to me i simply wrote the things that i think i can do or what i intend to do(sometimes when i passed through many sleepless nights)... but reality is always different that the real! But this is a madness and it's real. Can you tell the shakespear to write again! his 'sign no more laddies!'... A well crafted piece but this time it's different than waiting... this is called suffering... only ustad nurat fateh ali khan can mention this in his rog...

Imperfections and incompleteness are life.
Thank you for your insightful review.
Short and precise, gets the feeling across. It's not an error but I think the word 'passed' is an ill fit here, change it if you like, 'turned', 'became' (though here you would have to change the 'into' as well), etc. All in all a well written piece. I like it.

Thank you very much for the helpful review. I changed 'passed' into 'turned'.
:)
Waiting with no explanation can be more painful than being dumped hard and fast. Great poem Jyoti. :)

Thank you very much, Sudeep.
This shows us how dwelling on the past destroys our future and hope for a better life. The waiting in this poem is like a rope pulling us back, till we are in a state where there is no coming back to our normal selves.

Insight.
