Childlike Memories

By -

We never park our memories, they walk in our hearts like a child,
They even run, crawl and dance when we smile.
Sometimes, they become stubborn and make us nostalgic,
Fabricating our life around them is pure magic.

    nostalgia is priceless yaar...and i guess the part that many of us miss is the innocence and the joy that comes with living in your own world :) as we grow up we start trading innocence...it is the first thing to go on the block...:( anyway...guess which is my fav Enigma number :) :)

    Saru, when I am trying to share your posts on FB, the first comment of the post is visible on FB but not the post. Or else try to use AddThis widget. I hope it works.

    I think you beautifully play with the 'words'like a seasoned magician.Your description of memories
    is marvelous.Our mind is like a tape recorderr.Not only the memories are stored into it,but we can play reviving any memory we like.

    Many many thanks, Saru for the nice presentation.
    My good wishes to you for Ganesh chaturathi and Id.

    I remember a lot! Maybe too much. My parents and teachers were really good to me. I do have some memories that are not the best. My first crush when I was in 4th grade passed away. He had heart problems. I also struggled in school. They talked about holding me back. Something must of clicked because I went on to get my masters degree.

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills.

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.
