I have a meadow in my mind  Where I used to play with my friends I have a stream in my memory From which I could listen to the music of liveliness I have a thicket in my reminiscence Where cuckoos and other birds used to perch I have umpteen number of flowers in my yesterdays Which wore hues unnumbered I have a verdant countryside in my recollection Where unadulterated emotions overlapped I have all these things to contribute to my nostalgia For I have experienced all these firsthand And the posterities may also have these in their minds But it may be far removed from reality

A suicide is lingering inside my brain With vacant eyes and sluggish demeanor Due to the boredom of a long waiting  Impatient yet tolerant He walks, sits and leans against the wall And huddles with the passers-by thoughts And asks where they come from It seems he is inquiring about someone Appalled by the sight of the invoked spirit  The thoughts assembled here and there And everyone wants to know who he is waiting for Some are mute as they know something And the visitor summons some who have  distressed looks And they seem to be confessing something And he nods relaxedly  For, now he knows where to go

Burn bonfire burn Passionately and vigorously Unto the fire abates within you And when the night paints ebony all around  I'm the lone beholder who purveys my defunct hopes  To keep you alive And when you burn my hopes  That once burned in me in a buoyant fashion I see the scintillations fly like fireflies And I will grab all those sparks just to keep as a souvenir For I'm the avid curator of the archive of memory; The keeper of lost causes

Know why I forget things? I know why Coz each time I forget  I'm sure, it is either necessary or optional If it is necessary I forget it all of a sudden And the thought pops up after sometime If it's optional it is not very easy to forget it completely Even if I forget it, It hints every now and then This is how I forget things Know why I remember things? I know why Coz each time I remember  I'm sure, it is either inevitable or unpleasant If it is inevitable, I need not do anything If it is unpleasant, I remember to forget it always This is how I remember things
