Roads of reminiscence.

Today when I lost myself again, I took out the letters from yester years

With a wry smile I sniffed them and once again fought with the tears

With a match in my hand, burnt them for only that made any sense

And with the fumes of love, walked alone on the roads of reminiscence.

 

Came across us and laughter roared in the sky

Took a while to accept it was really you and I.

Walked a few paces further and found myself undressing you

Had to look away for it made me wonder if you think of it too.

But the sighs made me look back again

Till the view faded and climbed a different terrain:

One where we still held hands and watched the moon,

But the parting ways, did we not both rue?

The trembling eyelids and tremulous lips

The scent of your hair and the incomplete kiss

Come in my way as insane semblance,

From the roads of reminiscence.

 

Lonesome days and nights falling across as shadows

A lot of love left, through my veins in agony coursed.

All the sense of longing from the asphalt arose

Till I learnt to weep in poetry and prose.
