*so Quickly Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

So quickly the tides of time
When yesterday has turned
Into a dream for the memory
Childhood just gone
Instead wisdom as maturity
I shall not forget the pillow fights
A walk on a narrow lane
You said you disliked coffee
I had faint dream of marriage
The ceremonies I accompnied
I heard your name many times
The tears as it reached me
Your ears against my chest
To hear my heart beats
That would turn irregular
I am facing the blank face
The background as curtain
Goes up but emptiness
I knew my love shall be
I sow the seeds today
For flowers of memories tomorrow
I have already started plucking them
And I saw a few in your hairs
Let us not consume ourselves
I am not following any rules today
O love grieve me not to the extent
What have you given in love
Lost your heart for a bargain worthwhile
