I Want My Yesterdays Back Poem by M D Dinesh Nair
I Want My Yesterdays Back
I want my yesterdays back
They were bubble like
And they broke before
I were to hold them like a child.
Did I live its season to my full?
Those days had the flicker of the Venus.
I thought they would last for sometime.
My yesterdays were like ice-cream
That melted in my cup
Before I could taste it.
I want my yesterdays back
Those days I could taste the flavour
Of my mother`s breast milk
And I dreamed I would taste
That sweet drink for some years.
But she left me leaving my tongue dry for ever.
My past was launched like a rocket
Unto the skies of my present
That doesn`t compromise much.
In the corridors of the ghostly edifice
Sans a floor and a chamber
I long to have my yesterdays.
In that Utopia let me crawl and fall,
I want my yesterdays back.
While the days go by, never again the same of sunrise, sunset, sweet day of summer, youth, of love and truth remain with us though we hunger for them very desperately.........very well composed sir..........
Longing for yesteryears, which cannot be relived which we all yearn for at some point of time, very nicely expressed. Reference to loss of mother in early childhood is indeed poignant. Thanks for share.
I think most of us feel like this as we get older - we yearn for our lost youth and for all those experiences which become just memories. A very thoughtful poem, full of longing.
Yesterdays - fallen petals Today the dew is fresh Tomorrows - mysteries to unravel Beyond, why should we rush..? Even as we sit on an arm chair of memories, the sands are running out and I guess it is imp that we pay due attention to this living moment too. Good poem, took me back in time......
one could have almost every thing in the world back except precious yesterdays...a beautiful poem
Yesterdays of moments in time that will last forever, if only we could go back and relive knowing what we have been given is so special! I love this evocative and such a beautiful write!
Yesterday always seems a fleeting moment, especially the childhood days, since we were then not well equipped with the intellectual insight we have now acquired over years. Moreover, when we live a carefree life, time seem to sky-rocket with great velocity. Loved reading it.
