Mist of yesterday

Down the memory lane…

It’s another solo walk on the beach,
the mind is all set to rewind;
the dead present sees another breach,
it’s time to be spellbind;

A bunch of few racy teens,
once used to tread this sand;
now only my footsteps are seen,
alone here I stand;

Pockets were scoured but the bucks came hard,
yet just a bite felt like a feast;
now each has a debit card,
but the taste now is at it’s least;

Riding by the day,riding by the night,
beaches,boulevards and the hills;
chums were never out of sight,
now a shrilling silence kills;

Adorable still is the first love,
though started and ended in blunder;
a pal gave me back-up,
when I approached her in a thunder;

Stupid acts seemed ventures,
silly were the concepts of manhood;
dumb anatomy and conspicuous gestures,
breaking all the laws we could.

Buzz of the era was soft porn,
a mighty flag that mobilized punks;
sharing intelligence was sworn,
those sessions never saw any bunks;

Ingenuous plans and a dewy-eyed dream,
no touch of idiotic edification;
today but is a different realm,
wishes don’t see realization;

While raking up what I badly miss,
these lines made out there way;
lost are those years of bliss,
in the mist of yesterday…

  1. @KishoreSorry mate for the reply after ages.Actually,I have a blog dedicated to the country affairs.But I haven't shared that link,YET,because :1. Country affairs is where one must be unbiased,rational and devoid of impulsive emotions – I have achieved the first two but not the last.2. Writing about country affairs is a challenging task – it needs hell lot of reading,careful pruning,transforming data into information and a CONTINUOUS touch with affairs.This is something for which I don't have adequate strength and motivation.3. I take writing about countries,cultures,History,Science etc. as a SACRED task – something one should do more seriously than praying for one's own good. But this approach of scrupulousness proves a hindrance to writing as it takes a toll on the self-confidence.I again appreciate your encouragement to write about the country – I assure you that once I am convinced that my writing is even 10% good,I will make it public !
