Gone are those days!

a poem by Sathya N K

I wish I could turn back the clock,
to the days gone by and bring them back.

Every dawn a pleasant experience,
every hour filled with memorable moments.

Sharing all the good and dire,
bearing the bundle of joy and sorrows together.

A feeling of being in a well knit family,
don’d with understanding, care, affection truly.

Emotions wrapped with warmth and pure love,
Greetings exchanged on special occasion in row.

Swapping eatables from every other domicile,
and exploring eat outs navigating many a mile.

Sunken always in happiness and laughter.
with fun and Jokes filled in the air,

Oh! gone are those days,
leaving me now, only to reminisce.

Memories when evoked, bring a curtain of haze,
making my vision to faze.

Now left with none to matter earnestly,
I move on with thoughts of yester years wholly.

Many occasions, birthdays and new years pass by,
alas there is no soul to greet, I don’t know why!

At times this friendless life does pluck my heart strings,
but all I could do is, to take a pew and pray for Almighty’s blessings.

Yearning that golden epoch to return,
as I keep waiting, to see my lost amity, one day or other regain.
