Childhood fragrance

Childhood fragrance

The sweet fragrance of

The carefree world of

Childhood

Remains hidden

Until one is a grown adult

Tied in innumerable knots of 

Desires and necessities

When even a carefree

Sound sleep looks distant

One is left with

No other choice

Except drowning oneself

In the sea of memories

As much as possible

Shades of life

Shades of life

Fascinate me

Carefree childhood

Looks

Towards the parents

For every small thing

In the naughty puberty

One wants to see

Do everything new

The dynamic youth

Is full of energy

Ready to accept

Any challange

The grown up man

Is more mature

With responsibilities

On the head

Does everything

Carefully

Plans for the future

The old age man

Remembers

The child hood

Feels little helpless

Worried about

The time to come

Further you go

One looks frail and tired

As helpless as a child

Prays to god

For a peaceful end

The child in me

I am a full-grown man

With a wife and children

A good job to do

Have all that I need

People think

I have lot of experience

To share with others

I give to them

 What is expected from me?

But do not hide

The child in me

At times

 I cry and laugh like him

Ask questions

As a child does

Play and behave like him

I know

Childhood cannot return

But the child in me

Takes me back

To the carefree

World of A child

No matter,

How old I become  

I do not want

The child in me 

To die

I was ten she was eight

I was ten she was eight

She was my classmate

Her innocence

Neat dress, Suave looks

Soft smile

Simple and elegant manners

Attracted me

My heart was not

What it used to be

The heart beats increased

Face blushed

Whenever I saw

Or talked to her

I could not understand

Why and what it was?

I told my mother

About The changes I felt

My mother replied

You are as innocent

As she is

Love for her

Has erupted in your heart

Something nobody can stop

Falling in love is natural

You are the lucky one

Falling for someone

Earlier than others

Her prize possession

She never forgets
Her blue frock
Does not even 
Show it
To anybody
She was 
Six years old
When I had bought it 
Presented to her
On her birthday
She liked it on 
The first sight
Thanked me 
A thousand times
Insisted 
On wearing it
The same night
It became 
Her favorite dress
For every function
She would wear it 
Cried if told to
Choose from 
The rest
She wore it 
The most
It also fitted her
The best
As she grew 
Had to Stop
Wearing it
Preserved it as 
A treasure
Her most valuable 
Possession
When reminded 
About the frock
she becomes nostalgic 
I can understand
Her love 
For the frock
It brought her 
Childhood
Back

My Childhood

When I peep into my past

I remember my childhood

The carefree, wonderful world of my life

Nothing to bother, nothing to think

Lot of fun, lot of play

When wrong I did, said sorry to mamma

Don’t do it again was mamma’s answer

My legs ached after lot of play

Mamma would massage them at the end of the day

Who washed my clothes?

What to wear I never thought

Lot of friends

Hindu or Muslim was never the question

Climbing on the trees

Catching butterflies was the favourite pastime

Wanted everyday to be a Sunday

Getting up early I never liked

Sleeping late in the morning was my desire

How papa earns was never my concern

Brothers and sisters all loved me

I was the youngest in the family

I pray to god take the money and all the worries

And give me  back my child hood
