Tisha and I wanted to write on “scars” but I was clueless as ever. This is what I finally came up with:
Underneath my skin are tissues and blood; they know your touch. My senses have recognised you long before you laid your hands on me; like on a quest for holy grail, you searched the corners of my body leaving a trail of untamed memories behind.
I cover myself in courage as tears of separation roll down my cheeks. A sudden surge of jarring emotions collide with my pragmatic heart, a striking contradiction and I’m at war; with myself. I hide the scars within. How do you recognise something you don’t see? My fingers follow the map on my body, drawn by your fingernails, a mark of remembrance; a tale long lost.
These walls know that I sing, the floor knows that I weep and water knows how to console. Whiskey has numbed the pain down and further I drown.
Here’s part two. (Tisha’s)
So well written.

Wow Bharath this one is again one of the most beautiful pieces created by you. Especially the last paragraph, reading it took me to a whole different world. It’s so powerful and so poignant.
And the question how do you recognize what you don’t see? It hits the cord of my heart, it’s so very beautiful! I am sure a lot of people will relate to what you’ve written.
