Random Echoes 1 Poem by Shayari Roy

Lets recall some memories….
Of the past, which are now dead …
And cannot be unwritten
Those which like the sands of an hourglass - has mingled
And become a part of time itself.

I am so proud to recall those memories
Of him and of me…
As I sat lovingly on his lap, while he caressed me;
A part of me liked to be spoilt, while a part of me rebelled-
saying, " I am a grown up now? "
"I don't need these caresses, this kind of love, those funny
Sounding names! ! "
He happily complied with me
For some reason now I wish I had not denied him at all
Prolonged the moment as much as I could
Because time cannot be turned back- frosts and nothingness
Is what the heart really feels,
When the true pain is felt
At times I shunned his optimism
Called him various names
Told him to stay away, because he didn't know how I felt.
He was like that good summer breeze,
Over those frozen islands and lakes.
Never did he get tired of hearing, me telling him to stay away.
He always had a sunny smile
Eyes glinting, determined
Strong will, like mountains high
Made to touch the sky
There are no good days or bad
He taught me that they are the same…
Its just the way we see them
And now that he is not with me
I can only recall his memories
And think of the wonderful moments
That I spent with him…
Because…." Nothing lasts forever"
