I Want My Yesterdays Back Poem by M D Dinesh Nair
I Want My Yesterdays Back
I want my yesterdays back
They were bubble like
And they broke before
I were to hold them like a child.
Did I live its season to my full?
Those days had the flicker of the Venus.
I thought they would last for sometime.
My yesterdays were like ice-cream
That melted in my cup
Before I could taste it.
I want my yesterdays back
Those days I could taste the flavour
Of my mother`s breast milk
And I dreamed I would taste
That sweet drink for some years.
But she left me leaving my tongue dry for ever.
My past was launched like a rocket
Unto the skies of my present
That doesn`t compromise much.
In the corridors of the ghostly edifice
Sans a floor and a chamber
I long to have my yesterdays.
In that Utopia let me crawl and fall,
I want my yesterdays back.
My yesterdays were like ice-cream That melted in my cup Before I could taste it. Beautiful analogy! The longing of one who lost his mother at an early age and thereby lost the bliss of childhood! !
a v nice write Sir...yes we al are longing for yesterdays.........but I feel Geetha has rightly pointed out that even today is going to be an yesterday few years later........so I feel the time is still on for us, enjoy and live life to the fullest and do whatever you could not do or wanted to do, so that there is no guilt or repentance later when we sit back and think of our past.......... you have penned this poem very beautifully...........the ice cream para is v captivating
Thank you all my friends for your comments... In my time machine I cannot travel to my yesterdays and the flight would, if it were ever to be there, be with a higher purpose to serve I think.
There is only one yesterday and even that we cannot get it back. Let alone yesterday of yesterday of yesterday...I can understand how much one misses mother. Thank you for sharing the feelings.
one could have almost every thing in the world back except precious yesterdays...a beautiful poem
Yesterdays of moments in time that will last forever, if only we could go back and relive knowing what we have been given is so special! I love this evocative and such a beautiful write!
Yesterday always seems a fleeting moment, especially the childhood days, since we were then not well equipped with the intellectual insight we have now acquired over years. Moreover, when we live a carefree life, time seem to sky-rocket with great velocity. Loved reading it.
