59. Sad Memories Poem by Praveen Kumar in Simply Yours

Bygones in passion's frames
Race up from the years' layers
In rhythms, once seized my heart;
Each distinct frame disturbs now,
Each prods sad music in soul;
How heart rose and fell in turn
In wild tides of unsteady passions
And found deep roots in soft magic world!

Those days are crystal sharp in eyes
Though smudged in time's dark holes;
The life, attuned to heart and soul
In soft melodies that bloomed dreams,
Stumbled to plunge and dissolve in death
In the fierce flame of disintegration
That fogs my inner peace
And razes heart to dull and gray sloth.

Pains and pleasures in pickaback
Ravage human soul in unending cycles;
No pleasures heal
Incisive wounds inflicted on soul;
Years score as age fails to heal
And the wounds sour in sad melodies
And lull the soul to a numb world
Of sweet dreams and sad memories.
