NOSTALGIA



Sweet   rhapsodies ,  Fading  colors,
Emerald   mountains,   firmament  azure
Nostalgia   sweeps  in, Over   the   heart,
As  I  fix  the  vision  on   the   eastern   sky,
Where    clouds   play  the  merry  songs,
Sunlight     filters   on  the  moor.
Memories    quicken,   with  a  start,
Tear   gleams  in  the  light.
Ah!   I   am  emotionally   chocked,
Time’s   calling   back   to   you.
Dusty   weather   cratetered   roads,
Endless   faces   look   at   you.
In   the  myriad  I  see  one
Curly   haired   sunlight   burned
Image   of   a   pretty   girl
Long   ago   in   nineteen91’
Birthday   parties   colourful   caps
childhood   moments   with   a  friend
striking  chords  of  friendships  made
bondings   that   were   meant  to  stay
I  was  six  she  was  seven
We   roamed   the   alleys   hand   in  hand
But  time   flew  like  the  wind
I  turned  sixteen  she  seventeen
buildings,  birds ,roads  and  sky
alleys, flowers, music  that  died
Sun  that  from  behind  the  mountains  rose  everyday
Fostered  in  us  the  romantics  we  were made
Quarrels   patch  up’s  that  we  did
Stealing  pickles  through the  window  sills
Similar  crush  on  movie  stars
Endless  gossip  on the  terrace  stairs
Splashing  in  the  august  rain
Singing  tunes  of  ooh  aah  aay
She  waited  for  me  every  day
Heavenwards    the  stars   winking
As  we  drowned  in  the  halo  of  the  moon
Heaven  sent  us  the  boon
To  treasure  the  unconditional   Love   of   friendship
 That  gives  the  other  half  of  your  soul
Sweet   nostalgia   in   sepia   tones
Are   the   Happy   reminders  of   days  by  gone..

  2. wow!!!..wat a freshness comes out with first few lines just like a pearl came out from an oyster. When we turn out the pages of our memories it always starts with our childhood and left us with nostalgic feelings and also motivate us to enjoy every single moment of life.
