REMINISCENCE

As I drift vagrant along with…time,

The luminent fire flies of memories surrounds me,

The memories of a star studded Christmas night!

The reminiscence tickle me to a high, and…

The memories giggle in the recurrence of the past.

I sat closing all the doors but one,

The one to a shore, very private

That’s my kingdom and I am the princess!

I strike my Falcon feather on the magical stone,

Behold…there appeared my prince.

The night was young and the celestial marvel was intoxicating…

But the fairy warned us about the twelfth hour!

It all fell in deaf ears as we were in love!

Alas alas!!

We were cursed to part for ever!!

Find the true love and the curse will be reversed…

I set out with my shoes on…and staff in hand

Like in a fairy tale… but under the wrong signboard…

Traders were sitting behind their goods,

Goods of all negatives disguised!

I walked past all those traders of life…

My shoes are torn, staff broken… still 

Limping in search of my true love!
