Down Memories Lane Poem by kunjubi varghese

In your tender eyes

Blooms the starry sky.

There is only one countenance

Alone in my eyes;

One note alone, in the ears.

I am unable to wipe it off from my mind

It goes on and on eternally.

And my life stands still, in that harmony.


You illumine my environment

As the thousand lights of the lamp

In the courtyard.

And you are, the one after the thousand wicks,

which stands out and radiate your glory.

In your sparkling curls of hair

I perceive the emerging moon

On the firmament

With her bride maids – the stars!

I see golden rays in your cheeks,

When your finger tips touched

And kindled the flame of the lamp.

And I saw your love blazing,

In your stunning and alluring face.


As I turned into a sandal colored

Attire, covering your soft rosy skin,

You entered as a poem into my mind

And your sweet snigger

Became a sparkle…
