Let Me Go

Redux

Sculpture “Come On” by Isabel Miramontes

Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge Week 63 

need strength to walk
away from pleasure and pain
the remnants of our past
keep me connected to you

my brain thunders
with the memories
of our souls being as one
the connection everlasting

a fleeting hope of resurrection
pins me to you still
a false statement of contrition
tires my commitment

stop playing games
with my affection
break this hold
if it’s not real

please let me break free

  6. On a positive note, the sculpture reminds me of an Urdu poet’s lines in a regressive era, addressed to stay-at-home women.

    “Uth Meri Jaan, ki mere saath chalna hai tujhe”

    English translation

    “Get up, my love

    for you need to walk with me”.
