Nostalgia

A smell sometimes
takes me back to the times
i don't know of
or i don't clearly remember

sometimes, while walking through the lanes
i can smell the fragrance
unsure of what it is
but it evokes a sense of deja vu

on a November evening, when it's not that cold
i freeze in my way, the moment, i feel the smell
restless, i become, and try to remember
but fail, and move on.

days to remember

Days to remember
memories to cherish
you gave my sights to behold
in minutes you’ll perish

you were a start
as well an end
my horizons
you helped my transcend

You made me free
from the grips that clutched
you made me sit
and look what mattered

You stayed awake
wide eyed all night
dawn did come, you left
I was alone, with memories to fight


This is an allegorical poem i wrote on the eve of new year 2010.
