The Bygone Ecstacy Poem by Pumpkin Anu

Twas the time, I leapt above all
Twas the time, I bade good bye
That I took a long flight
And, wished, I would never be back…
In fantasy, I stretched my hands towards the impossible…

Then …
I was like the castle in the sky...
Such that I forgot where I am from…
Such that I denied the self around me…
And I kept going all around...
I tried not to come back to the ground again
I tried not to hold by what I had with me…

I wished …..
I felt rejected to the truth of life…
Or probably I was never willing to be…
I felt I was lucky…
I thought I was happy …
But it was still one step away from me…
When I preferred to close the door
And peep through the window pane…
I was off with that nostalgia..

I wished to put a sip in every grail,
I wanted to turn pebbles into gold,
I was in the bewilderment that angels are born on earth…
And countered to the wave of the cloud,
That I did not see the wind blowing behind…

I wished ….
I made wings out of parched leaves…
And trussed them with the roots of the vintage tree…
I wanted to touch them and dance to their feet…
I leapt so high that I never ended up ….
I ended up only then….
To find that it was just the mist …
Covering me all around, and vanishing soon by my side.
Only then I realized that I was flying too high….
I wished….

Now when I wish to come down….
I feel myself so low and frown….
And now I m afraid…
For my wings are soon unfastening ….
And the leaves are shredding quick….
So I wait for the spell to break …
And help me get back…
So, only thing left with me now is to hope and wish! !
