Revisit

childhood…

I keep going there

in my dreams

children

and they grew up

we took a step back…

…then another

bygone days… haiku

family home

resounding all around

chatter of childhood

memories… memories

by lanes of childhood

the courtyard of youth

memories memories!!

fairy tales

reading fairy tales

enchanted woods, whispering trees

reliving childhood

making memories

smiles and laughter

children making memories in

the sun dappled courtyard

childhood

they still abound

unscathed untouched

childhood memories

bygone days

your tiny feet…I can  still hear them

running on the cold stone floors

of our old home

and those eyes …looking up to me

from every direction

but

now

I dont know when you come and go out of the house

I pine to spend time with you my baby

but i guess

you are a man now

so fly

make your own world

and leave me with the memories

of the glorius bygone days

 

 

the child

I saw

childhood

begging on the streets

running nose

torn clothes

those tender feet

blistered

disheveled hair

I looked

for a sign

of hope

and there it was

in his eyes

the child in him

was speaking to me

Dad

my thoughts of you

haunt me

I trace my memories

to the good times

you made me have

as a child

you were always

the better parent

Dad
