late night chats in the cove
air think with clouds of smoke
midnight walks
and secret talks
in the rain
near morray house
impromptu makeup
and photo shoots
long nonesense chats
and weepy blues
pigeon watching on hunter square
walks to the lakes and on the hills
boys and clothes and so much more
talk and talk and laugh and laugh
walking down nicholson square
singing loudly on the road
it was such a good year
still i'm gonna miss you
"She would never say where she came from
Yesterday dont matter if its gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes
Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still Im gonna miss you...
Dont question why she needs to be so free
Shell tell you its the only way to be
She just cant be chained
To a life where nothings gained
And nothings lost
At such a cost
Theres no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Aint life unkind?
Goodbye, ruby tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still Im gonna miss you..."
Hey there :D I thought this one was very much like a song...maybe you could get Elton John to sing it. hehe
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, I like this part the best:
"midnight walks
and secret talks
in the rain
near morray house"
Makes me (as a reader) feel like I missed something.
Cheers,
Alexis
You are so special to me, a big sister, a best friend. I am incredibly lucky to have a friend like you in my life.
ReplyDeleteYou have an ability to make the people in your life aware of how important they are! Dont ever loose your passion for the things that are so important to you.
Your understanding, compassion and unconditional friendship are what make you you. These things have touched my life and I am grateful.
I will miss you!
Come visit bitch!
Hi,Prero,this sounds like quite an 'inspired' poem..:)interesting lines?Impromptu makeup and photo shoots,long non(is the e on purpose?)sense chats and weepy blues.:)Nice going,as always.Though,Ruby Tuesday makes me wonder..:)
ReplyDeleteAlexis, Elton John! Oh no! lol. The quoted song was by the rolling stones :)
ReplyDeleteyou missed something? like how?
It feels so weird that people are beginning to leave? We're getting close to the end. So immense! Feel sad. Miss classes and our post class coffees and hanging out ... damn. Feels like the end of an era :)
No?
PS - I am ofcourse (officially) too zonked out by my project to feel much!
Becky,
Love you too, Sweetie. Miss you already
I'll come as soon as I can afford it. And we're doing the Ugly Doll Gang Great Indian Road Trip in December :)
AmitL, 'inspired' :)
Ruby Tuesday makes you wonder what?

ReplyDeletei really really like it :) ...
Wow! thats a beautiful post, dedicated i presume to your friend who left.. Very nicely done and so reminiscent and Ruby Tuesday just glorifies it to another level. Beautifully captured!!
ReplyDeletei used to hate this time of year when all the students would go home and the feeling of emptiness would kick in
ReplyDeleteUtopia, Thank you! Yes I have been so homesick lately!
ReplyDeleteSoul in Transit, and how ... :)
The Guy Next Door, nope, why?
Isha, Thanks! Hope you will come again!
Prmod Bafna, Thank you! It always makes my day to see a comment from you :)
Yes it was dedicated to Becky who just left. Ruby Tuesday is from this one morning when we were walking down high street and she was talking about a girl and I said she would never say where she came from ... and one thing led to another and before we knew it we were singing on the top of our voices :)
making memories ...
San, I know! :(
