Music Of Life Poem by lalitha iyer

Sounding aloud my passions and emotions
songs of all fashions they are
they cheer the Spring and charm the winter
they clap in Autumn and calm the rainy
when first the sound of music touched my heart
then I jumped and I was three
the splashing waters of sound thrilled my harkening ears
and I was electrified with the gurgling brooks of verses

when i grew up I learnt the meanings of lyrics
and how they mated with music to produce songs
such a beautiful birth it amazed me to no extent
and I danced in the beauty of enthralling songs
songs bathed me in eternal romances
they licked me to passion's heights
they hugged me to endless emotions
I reeled and reeled under the sway of songs
till my teens spitted blood of ecstastic pangs

Now, as I age still the nostalgic songs caress my inner recesses
they massage my scars and wounds of withering passions
they flutter and fur upon my memories sad with plight
with bright brushes of life delight
they cheer my moods with water colours
of mixed hues of empathy
Sweetly as I lie upon my beds that last not longer
slowly, slowly the melodies of enriched teens linger.
