Reflection of Memories

I depart from the shore of time

It has hauled me backwards,

Although the moments have passed

It embraces the love I lost

I reminiscent the fresh old past

And it bleeds me with its thorns;

The scarlet drops healed my wound

But carved deep in the heart

It touched and came along my passage

I was startled with anxiety

It pains me throughout the way I move

I hasten to escape from the reality

The life that I'm facing at present

And wish it never hold my past

Bringing all the memoirs I burned,

It scorches to ecstasy;

Sometimes I garble in stability

And opens it through the windows

That once had shuttered from my life,

I see the spring behind it,

The withered seasonal flowers blooming

And everywhere there sings

The songs of love,

That laid in a corner of my heart;

Repenting on the broken thoughts

That had shattered in the memories,

I revert the days beyond my existence

And saw the beauty that subsisted

On the lap of time

With its power held high,

In the hands of erstwhile beloved,

Seized with adoration

Created out of love

And moulded on the stone of eternity;

It fills the emptiness of my life!!
