Time & Memory Poem by Anirban Dasgupta

Time and memory …

Dark night…..sound of rain
A sad note breaking the silence ….
The howling owl flies away…..

Life in melancholy wrapped in doubt
Sound of wings through the cold night…
Darkness that makes you sick, pale….makes you shout
In despair, what is wrong and what is right.

* * *

Time heals, they say
And memory took that away…
And they survive to serve
Life in a tray-
Happiness, sadness- a mixed theme of life
Till you close your eyes for all that to strive

* * *

Time stumbles on a momentary sleeplessness….

As the nightmare makes you shrink, tears rolling down
And you smile to the destiny …to the lost crown
An attempt failed to resist the restlessness…..

* * *

Known faces down the memory lane, all pale and fade

Laughing at you
From the pages of the old album
All eager to hide the agony sounding an empty drum

Colour of blood is no more red….

* * *

Tomorrow is yet to die…lets all pray
Time heals wounds and memory takes them away…
