Backward leap

Music mingled with love,

Vibrates the body for a while;

Enlightens the mind of the burden,

Like the clouds about to rain.

Sitting on a couch, my mind takes a backward leap

Into the childhood existence.

Those whims and fancies, laughter and giggles;

Then being at the best of behavior,

Became an apple of an eye.

 As I come out of the reverie,

Its  nothing but a blessed past.

My hands flung in the air,as if for a moment saying:

 Oh! Please don’t------

Don’t go my reverie, stay for a while;

But no it was just a mirage.

I take a sigh

Clear the lump of my throat,

 My body, without mind, like a corpse

Lies listless on the couch.
