Reminiscence

A store house in the corner of my terrace, no one bothers to enter now

Has grown up with me all the way through, as far as my memory allows

Filled up with paraphernalia I casted off, while sailing ahead in life,

It offers me the coast I need when I pause at times, feeling deprived

That night, when I opened its door, some chocolate moments awaited me

My Tobu cycle, on which I dreamed, to see the world, pedaling gingerly

Next to it slept my Barbie; soiled clothes, sans hair, yet pretty, as ever

Pulling back drapes from memory, I mused over days we're together

I dusted off a thick scrap book, my holiday home-work, running into miles

And a sweet reminiscence of my school days left behind a child-like smile

An earring parted from its match, a pair of stilettos choked with earth

Or even the rusted cooler in a corner had all shared my gloom n mirth

Few more windows opened inside, n I peeped into some dear moments

Leaning by an aged rickety chair, a teardrop joined me that very instant

Looking at the fan, as it toiled, to bring about a puff of air on my face

I closed my eyes to sail back in time, away from future, to my solace!
