emptiness

The feeling of emptiness is the most profound of all feelings... One can easily see this... The once fresh, almost raw, pleasurable, heady love, friendshihp, attachment, closeness everything becomes evanescent pretty soon... They just disappear- no, time has got nothing to do with this; its the stream and flow of these things that do this- they flow, continue and become so stale that they cease to flow with any reality-eventually,they vanish. The emptiness you get after they go is felt too strongly to be any memory; it is felt as a deep , immense putrid, stinking passion. You waana stay with it, hold on to it but if you try, you will be drained of all hopes. But still, we do. We dont try to fill the emptiness with all the lost stuff again(which becomes impossible) but we live on with the emptiness,with the hopelessness, filling it up with a little loneliness, because we've got so little of ourselves with us. We will stop being sad and depressed once we get used to the emptiness;(though we wont be happy) we will go on living........... Until the shimmering beauty and fantasy of Death lures us.

Umm, someone has left a very deep gash in your heart, that's for sure. I can see myself, in those lines, ten years back.

It seems like it has healed, but no, it hasn't. I have just stopped thinking about it. But whenever I do remember, it still hurts. But then I smile weakly, like a soldier who had lost in battle once.

Don't try to wallow in the hurt, time will mask it, but surely won't heal it. Then again, if the wounds of the heart were to heal, life would have been more easy and uncomplicated.

very well written... top marks raghu! emptiness as a whole is a perfect congeniality, takes time to adhere to it as a bystander and makes a person feel the remorse of the maximum to look back, hurted, healed and either in perturbed silence laugh smile or just shrug your shoulders off. the best way to get rid off emptiness is to fill in wanted and unwanted things, a clear scope of nerve racking experiences atleast gives you to live off the edge ;)keep it coming!

Very well said.. one has to get rid of all the old stuff to welcome the new energy, this might be in any context/stance / life even materially . Only when you clear off all the old and useless baggage within, the new spirit can enter our hearts and souls. So , yes emptiness creates space for new verve.
