Reunion Poem by Valsa George
Reunion
After several summers, we met again
In the still slumbering morning light
Looking at each other in dazed silence
With the delectable kick of an evanescent dream.
The vile tricks Time had wrought
Did change both you and me
In the place of dimpled ruddy cheeks
Dreamy eyes and soft creamy skin
I saw crumpled, saggy face
Lustreless eyes and wrinkled skin.
Much has slipped between the seams!
How I watched you struggle hard
To hide the shock far too obvious
When your eyes had hooked on me
Altered beyond your wild surmise
Gazing at each other, dumb we stood
Two travellers at a wayside inn
To part after a brief respite
With the past trampled under our feet
The present sneering at our face
And the future hovering above our heads.
At what infinitesimal time
Has this wonder transpired?
The creases, suddenly ironed out
The wrinkles all smoothed down
Brilliance shot back to hazy eyes
The plump, rotund body
Into sleek hour glass figure turned
Hot blood rushed through the veins
And a new energy throbbed the muscles
Once again our nimble limbs
Danced in tune to the fast beats
Once more we were made
Those agile girls of fickle teens
Who hid a thousand rosy dreams
In the ivory caskets of their minds
And flew on wings of easeful abandon,
To far fairylands and gardens green.
It is a reunion of a century of our present.These lines must enliven the minds of the oldies who are at times given to the debacles of ailments, woes, semi isolation and growing pessimism. The teeming of apt vocabulary and all pervading intensity of thoughts make the piece a superb write!
A fine poem or a reunion an the honest and aghast surprised looks and shock when meeting and invigorated outcome and rejuvenation after. Terrific.
we have observed such changes in our relatives and friends, even after a few years of separation, when we return back home, so far I have not met any of my primary school buddies. very well written poem!
