Those Memorable Days




THOSE MEMORABLE DAYS
Ho my love, I still remember our first meeting
I would wait for your arrival at college bus stop
I found in your smile the message of love
You were different from others like a fairy from heaven

Whenever I would be sad you would embrace with care
You were symbol oflove, beauty and grace
It has been ages destiny took you away from me
I still live with hope we would meet once again
,
You are in my memory and dreamslike soul
My prayers are always for you and your well being
After many years I happened to visit our college city
Our loving memories came flashing in mind's screen

My eyes were searching for you everywhere
Went to the restaurant we would meet very often after college
Went to Marina beach where we would meet often in the evening
When looked around lives were same except I missed you

I went and sat on the sea shore gazing at the waves
Waves were touching my feet and telling me
Where you were all these days; have come after years
I felt waves were complaining for delayed arrival

Felt waves were saying she would come very often and
Sit for hours for you and would go back disappointed
My eyes were eagerly looking for that tree which would
Give us shelter from the scorching heat as good friend

It seemed like our love, the tree had become victimof nature fury
Heard from wind time has absorbed the tree in her existence
Every thing were looking different with passage of time
Tears welled into my eyes and started rolling down my cheek

Tears are our companion bothin sorrow and happiness
The surrounding, greenery, lush green trees all around had withered
Yes there few things unchanged like flow of time and mighty sea waves
And the works of architects of bygone era on the rocks overlooking sea


Thought I would know her where about
I asked repeatedly the spring breeze
Morning dew, floating clouds in sky
Flying birds returning in groves to their nests

Blossoming flowers in the garden,
Dancing leaves on the tall trees
Dancing deer and peacock in the forest
And asked Moon on full moon night

Crystal water in the streams and flow of river
Also asked falcon high above in the sky
Asked musical rains, burning candle
Asked the galaxy of stars and setting sun

All said they have not seen my love any where
Totally lost all hopes I came and sat on the sea shore
The waves were our confidants for years
I was totally lost about her where about

I was sad and sorrowful sitting on sea shore
Lost in past beautiful memories like tree shade
Asked waves who were our confidant of years
Return those foot prints of my love they preserve

Replied the waves those footprints of your love
Are now part of their existence for years
Like my memories of my love, the relation
Between memories and love inseparable

Living with eternal hope destiny will unite us
The time spent together will remain alive
Been a source of inspiration for me to live on
She came as angel and taught the meaning of life

Despite difference of religion, we were one
Love is secular. Love unites never divides
The longing for her will remain eternal
Her memory I have preserved deep down in heart

How I wished I could tell what she means to me
And her magic on my life despite being away
When I think of her beautiful eyes like calm lake
Lips like rose petals, hairs like dark clouds in the sky

It has been years I am with my loneliness
Despite years gone by, there is no end to my solitude
Years may lapse but my wait is eternal for my lost love
Her very thought inspires me to live; love being rooted in soul

I know she must be thinking of me in her loneliness
Else why should I have this undying urge for her
Will ask almighty on the day of judgement why
This to me; I know love demands sacrifice

When it comes to her beauty and grace
Words fail me to describe her angel like grace
Sea waves still miss her and call her
They still remember our undying love for each other

When I look at full moon I would see her reflection
At times I feel she is still part ofmy existence and
Would come and knock at the door with usual smile
Knowing; she is no longer part of me since years

As long as we were together; life was a dream
Her love, care and concerns for me; matchless
Those stolen moments spent together on sea shore
Those innocent talks of future life together

Unmindful of cruel destiny waiting for its kill
Our travel together in bus to drop her after college
I still remember the day we took leave after college
Will never ever forget those tears filled eyes of my love

Saying come back she would wait for me
But destiny willed it otherwise and parted for good
I had promised her I would live with smile
True love never ages or dies being rooted in soul

Flight of my imagination takes me to known places
Hoping i would meet her at the turn of road
My disappointed hope is still hopeful of
I often find self lost in her memories when alone

At times I feel my memories are dominant over my dreams
I live rest of my life alone but memory of love is there always
Life would have been a dream sequence if she were with me
She still comes in my dreams and tells me take care she is exceptional

I know for certain, I have to complete the sojourn alone on this earth
She is helpless and I powerless to face the barriers of prejudices
The time spent together now seems like dreams of by gone era
Cruel hands of destiny parted us apart, still we live each other

When comes to think of true love, true love is eternal
Above time and space; only separated love become immortal
Be it Romeo Juliet., Hira Ranga, Laila Majnu, Shiri Farhad and many

My life often asks me why this misfortune with me since long
I console my life it has been the fate ofill fatedlovers; separation
Is inevitable for love to become immortal, so why to mourn
My love being immortal, it has been source of inspiration


It has been ages since I had smiled last
Hoping lost love would knock at my door
True love turns man into angel being pure
Lover sees image of God in his loved

She cameas breeze; took away my smile as token of love
I have become prisoner of loneliness though memory is there
How I spent my lonelinessno one there to ask me how I am
I have been in the midst of despair and darkness since long

There was a timething was cheerful and pleasant
Happiness, success and love were my companions
If your memories are inspirational, life's journey will be pleasant
Helps people to fight their ways up in life

How can I forget my chance meeting with my love at the airport
After ages; at first look I could not recognise her
It seemed she had been through bad time since we parted
Neither the charm, nor look, nor that smile or grace on her face

I felt as if she had left behind her beauty in the past
For her also it was surprise to see and meet me after ages
I had never thought we would meet again in life but destiny is destiny
I was searching my lost love in a stranger, when asked how was she

She said life had been in despair and compromises all through
It had been like a prisoner of loneliness in the custody of memory
When she asked me how had been my life since parted
In reply came flood of emotion bursting into uncontrolled tears

Given our family commitments it was next to impossible for us
To start life afresh.I told her people come to our lives
Some as blessing and some as curse both are our destiny
As she was to catch the flight I said goodbye for the last time
Shedisappeared among the passengers like thesmoke in thefog

(This is a poem based on my imagination and observation of lifeas poet but
must be true for millions of souls on mother earth, Happy reading)
