A Question?

How does the moon hide that rabbit in his stomach, Mom?
How do the ghosts look in their real form?
Where is the heart and why does it beat, Dad?
Why does the food always taste so bad?

When will the bell ring? Its time to go home!
When will I enter the college, I want to break the norm!
What will I be, when I grow up? A teacher or a doctor?
How can I be the topper, always the topper?

When will I ride my dream bike with that girl at the back?
Am I doing my best, am I on the right track?
Does this suit me or am I meant for something greater?
When will I find the answers? Never, now or later?

Did I love my life? Did I live my life?
Was I happy day and night? Was everything right?
I know not the answers, my questions still teeter.
The latter were confusing, the former were sweeter.

I have this eternal question left unanswered yet
Where are you my Lord? I am in your debt!
Can you put me back to my mother’s womb?
Where there were no questions and I was blissfully numb.

Memories

Alone I stand amidst the busy streets of life
Unsure of the dark paths and the bright lights alike
Suddenly there is someone knocking on my mind
“Memories, I am” says the sweet voice from behind!

I am your childhood games that you won;
Your boyhood puzzles left undone.
I am the Yellow tree that offered the shade
I am your memories and I never fade.

I am those pictures that you smiled in,
And those mischiefs you were involved in
I am your sweet times, bitter ones as well
Instantly I come to ring that bell

I am that dear friend you always looked for
I am the cost you lost her dearly for!
The silly strifes you had with them all
I am your soul mate, I am your pal

I am those mistakes ignorantly you made
And your good thoughts, which have YOU, made.
I am all you lost; I am all you gained
I am the boats that you sailed when it rained

I am your Present that runs into Past
I present you with the Past, I present them to you Fast!
Deep inside, you laugh and you cry
Beside you I sit; making it happen every time I try

Embrace me whenever I visit you
With arms wide open and the heart too
I rush inside you like a gushing stream of flowers
Leaving you with the Fragrance that will last forever.

I am your companion when in silence
I am your Memories, I am those Memories.
I keep on coming, knocking and knocking!!
