I was back again. Same place, same position. Things repeat themselves. But this wasn’t a déjà vu. It was a conscious choice. Sometimes, we want things to repeat themselves. To relive old memories. To taste a moment of the past again.

Recline
As the music dissolved into the muffled lights, I lay back. The curtain fluttered, creating psychedelic patterns against the yellow glow.
I was back again. Same place, same position. Things repeat themselves. But this wasn’t a déjà vu. It was a conscious choice. Sometimes, we want things to repeat themselves. To relive old memories. To taste a moment of the past again.

AMAZING lines! So so so true!
hahahahah! someone asked if u were a woman, august! lol... talk abt stereotypes.
by de by, watsup with ya these days? i c de creative cells are working nicely. ;-)
you do take beautiful pictures....some which leave me overwhelmed...like this one!
How I wish I could relive some of the moments from the past... but we cant always get what we want, can we?
It's amazing how the little things in life make a difference.
It could be a fragrance or a word, a cuppa on a couch or drive to the beach, a missed call or a Sigh! there i go again....... they all bring back memories dont they?
"Sometimes, we want things to repeat themselves."
Nice!
But on second thoughts ... would U really want it to happen that way? Doesent it loose its significance if it repeats again and again?
really...life does boil down to the minutest of details. overlook them, and you overlook a part of yourself...
whats th e diff between reliving an moment past and pulling up and soaking in a memory? its incomplete ... isnt it?
happy diwali / happy eid / happy halloween - choose one or take all three :)
btw, i never asked, why 'english august'?
our attempt at making the wonderful moments go on forever.
What a great picture!
repetition, I could go for hours about this. Your photos just get more and more beautiful...
Reliving moments which define us...very powerful and intoxicating.
Compelling and captivating photograph. It's like the tunnel of life you contemplated here.
(I breezed in via Garnet's Glittering Muse blog. That 55 word poem sounded like a cool challenge.)
Strangly this reminded me of being a kid and building tents out of sheets, watching the lights and shadows through the fabric
i'll just echo nicole's words. breathtaking photography!
Funny, how sometimes we choose to relive the past, or the past chooses to filter through the curtains of time in a slightly different shade again. I always ask myself, why? I'm beginning to realize that I don't need an answer.
Unbelievable photo .:A:. Just the image itself sets of an intensity. So glad to get over here again ;-)
Warm - it touched the frozen parts of me and made me feel nice inside. Merci August...
The pic's beautiful AS USUAL!!;-) Luv the last 2 lines...true...sometimes infact a lot of times we want nuth more than to relive a few moments of the past...at times we wish we wudn't have known a few things which we know at present...but doesnt alwez happen like that...life alwez moves on no matter wot...keep up the wonderful work!!!
"To taste a moment of the past again"
true.... there are times when we want not just to taste it again, but hold on tight and never let go of it....
the picture reminds me of arabian nights and their faboulous tents! lovely perspective and original too. :)
i was wondering, is it ever possible to taste a moment from the past again? does it ever taste same again?
So true so true. We only live them again through memories.
Love the colors in the picture.
If only it were as good as the first time.
I like this.
Just quoting something I'd written a few days back.
retribution...
sometimes,
we believe not
in forgiveness
we keep those memories alive
scarred,
faded, jaded...
in the dungeons of our heart
and, punish ourselves
for loving thus...
:)
the moment had swept past
a perspective remained
disquiet the calm
in the non happening of life
all that moved
was a veil...aflutter
that was such a beautiful picture. it's amazing. i looked and looked at it, convinced i would see something more.
Sometimes, images are enough. Sometimes the words do the image an injustice. Not this time. It's haunting....
I must get out my camera with a new eye.

great pic! Looks very comfortable, and yes, I do want things to repeat themselves, especially last night.
sometimes tho the past clings to us and never seem to let go. and often when it happens, i succumb.
Ingenious words to complement the picture. I looked at the picture first and was uncertain. You painted a feeling to replace the uncertainty. Splendid!

Feels like I was there too. Flat on the ground with one vodka too many.
And as my head reeled, the Buddha just whispered something in my ear.
And to think it all started with a photograph..
we want them to repeat... and repeat and repeat.. until... like always.. they loose their taste and then we move on to new tastes.
for eg. this pic
v nice when I looked at it for the 1st time... but.. the next time.... and the next.. and the next... hehe
