“Have I ever told you?”

That were the words that first echoed in the silence. They were beautiful, they filled the space with sounds.

They marked a part of the canvas ,now there was before the words and after the words – a time divided.

The voice would have to be complemented with a picture, the words devoured the vacuum and formed an image.

It had to been the voice spoken out a bruised lip, it was far too coarse to be coming from those with glistening smooth mouth. A little scratch on the lip spoke them, a scratch that wasn’t always there – another time united.

There was a hand that slightly touched upon the chin and rested there while the words came to life, its fingers have felt things, felt life, felt death, felt flowers and ribbons, felt sand under the nails, felt the hot iron of the bike exhaust, felt the sunlight drip from the sky, felt the violin string in the dusty shop, felt the .

A hand that had felt its way through the soft curls of a dark long hair, a time when the lips and the crack smiled in bliss.

Those eyes watched that – the birth and life of the rugged smile.

On a bright summer morning when the star burnt in the middle of the sky, the breeze claimed the wheat fields and the dust and the hay. Those eyes were looking at the smile, a bliss, a time divided.

These eyes have waited, at the swarming subways, at the yellow colored classrooms buzzing in chalk powder, at the water fountain behind the purda, at the mall wearing one left shoe and looking at the mirror, they waited for the smile.

These eyes found words, words found the rugged lips, the lips found words that echoed in the universe.

Just as Eve came from Adam’s rib, just as Venus was born out of the waves, Agnes sprang from the gesture of that sixty-year-old woman at the pool who waved at the lifeguard

I wrote a poem for you once
On yellow paper and black ink
I added little heart stickers and glued a petal too
I was clumsy and in love and I spelled you as ceno-rita
After all these years I still remember my ode for you
You did frame it in our living room

I had to post after LIFE returns post hiatus. The episode actually made me go back to all the good things I love about the show. The show is quite engaging, partly due to screen presence of the leads ;Like a reviewer said “ at this point, I’d probably be willing to watch Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi go to the dry cleaner together”  :D


[Crews and Reese are investigating a crime scene where a woman wearing angel wings is found dead]

Charlie Crews: It’s a dead angel.
Dani Reese: It’s a dead woman with a pair of fake wings.
Crews: How do you know.
Reese: Well I know the wings are fake because I can see the harness right there.
Crews: Maybe it’s a real angel with fake wings.
Reese: Why would a real angel have… no, no I’m not doing this with you.

I just collected few of the gems of this show about a detective (Damien Lewis as Charlie Crews) who is back to the force after serving 12 years for a crime he didn’t commit. Along with him is his screwed up partner (Sarah Shahi as Dani Reese) who is trying to keep it together and his friend TED from jail (White collar crime), we also have few colorful characters like Reese’s dad, Roman (grrr). The best part of its show is the ZEN of Crews and really capturing scenes a times.

Correctional officer #2: Are you making fun of us?
Charlie Crews: It is the universe that makes fun of us all.
[turns and faces other guard, walks away. Reese gives them both a look]
[as they walk outside the prison]
Dani Reese: Why would the universe make fun of us all?
Charlie Crews: Maybe it’s insecure.
Charlie Crews: Every moment you spend wishing you were someplace else is a moment you can’t get back
Dani Reese: What about every moment I wish you were someplace else?
Dani Reese: No ID on her or left in the room.
Charlie Crews: It’s like she fell out of the sky.
Reese: She fell out of a window.
Crews: It’s like she was noone.
Reese: Noone is noone.
Crews: Now you sound like me.
Reese: [startled] Take that back.
Crews: Would it be so bad?

Kevin: Roman Navokov. We have a warrant to search the premises.
Roman: Just the three of you. The new captain, the ex-con and the junkie.
