I Wish I Could... Poem by Rituparna Choudhury

I wish I could
I wish I could
Go back to the past
And live each moment
Which would forever last…

I wish I could
Make time move slow
I wish I could defeat war
By just one blow.

I wish I could
Make the rich, kind
I wish my heart would get back the love
It’s failing to find…

I wish I could
Put an end to all fights
I wish I could make the world
Peaceful and bright…

I wish I could make
The rich and poor stay as one
I wish we all live together
Under the moon and the sun…

I wish I could bring the heaven
Under my feet
I wish I could dance freely
To the rhythm of drumbeats…

I wish this world
Bears more people like you
I wish it gets filled up
With laughter and hue…

I wish the people all over
Make fun and merry
I wish they don’t raise buildings everywhere
But fills up with blossoms of cherry

I wish I could
Fly up to the sky
I wish all my dreams come true
Before I forever close my eyes…
