I enclosed it somewhere, deep down the heartUndeterred, unfound, like that whispering sound...
The words, the beats, the conspiring feats-
Lay quiet! And guard that secret deep
For years, its veiled, untarnished, untouched
The essence of my being, oblivious to others
My dreams, my beliefs, the casket of glees
My kinder days and the innocent deals
Let me unleash and open it now
Let me relive those wondrous sounds
Let me again feel the Ganges flow
Let me unravel the chants and furor
Let me walk through the shaky lane
The chiseled street, the cobbled road
Towards the nook, that hides the chest,
The Pandora box, with my riches best
There lies that rusty case,
Waiting to be opened and unraveled….
Let me search my broken heart,
That cried all night for the treasure lost….
Let me try my princess dress,
On a carriage, that I wore and fled…..
Let me hold that touch me not,
Whose mystery had left me spell bound…
Let me try that glistening bangle,
Red and pink, and flowery too…
Let me read that forlorn book,
So inspiring and yet unknown…
Let me spell out my childhood crush,
The brawny hero, the wicked don…
Let me shine the lonely shell,
How it held life? I found it difficult to tell…
Let me gather the diffusing smell,
That flows out and touches my self
Let me identify the fingerprints on each,
The memories of friends, so far from my reach…
Let me hold the luxury that I had,
A decorated candy, all for myself…
Let me feel the emotions again,
Of Bday cards and letters penned…
Let me smile at my childhood pic,
The little baby nestled so safe,,,
The secure lap of mom and dad..
The assuring arms that gladly held…
Let me keep these secrets safe..
Of remembrances and for days ahead..
