Life in a face

There are faces you misplace, you forget or lose.
And then there are ones that stay with you. Forever.
Faces that are sacred. That settle in the den of your mind. 
And claim ownership. And grow roots.


There are faces that have crossed the by-lanes of pain
The winding staircases of joys too frail
Faces that make you wonder. Wander.
Faces that hide. Faces that unfold. 
Faces like oceans, of stories untold.
Some talk, some brood, some wait.
Some just hold you in place.
In an enchanting tight embrace.
