"lost moments"


There embedded in my heart so bright
Are hopes which seem so high
Hopes imploring me to accrue.
Hopes escalating me to reach u.
Becoz ur my joie-de -vivre ,
The only sea i wanna sail thru

Let it be that i 'm just a dreamer
Who believes that there r no walls between us
How can they be in my soul n in my mind
Where u r the only thing i can find


Though i live my life the way to stop u coming back to me
But still i am haunted by the sweet memoirs when i m free
Thoughts when we both had moments of sweet time
The moments when i realized u should have been mine

But they were so ephemeral to quote ,
Just a short sweet stint
Just like smell of currency notes ,
Freshly minted out in a mint..

They were the moments so vivid
Which unfortunately have turned insipid
Life has turned jejune n seems to lack its lustre
To part u from me,enuff courage i need to muster

There were times when ur my sine-quo-non
Times when u inspired me to keep moving on
But now i dont wanna know u further
I wish u were mutated into someone other
Someone puerile so innocuous n bit of childish
The person i m n the person who's my ultimate wish


How could i make such a wrong decision
Why such a perfectionist like me lack precision
How could i be so wrong at judging
Left melancholy ,though never grudging

Paradox lies there that though i dont like whit of u anymore
Still why i want u to change n things to become sweet as before
Impossible it may seem but i want to turn back time
Though for my good i shud'nt but i want to make things fine

Here lies the irony........
True but seems funny..........
Though i liked u from a distance
when u were far
But now i dont even wanna know u
when how close we are


So rightly goes the cliche: "time n tide wait for none"
Moments past are lost n no one can recover the fun.............

So live life as it comes.....................
Dont wait for better moments to come
Make ur present moments the best ones............
