I thought it’ll be fun

When I decided to write a poem

In a five minutes run

Don’t know what to write

Although my mind sang a song

At the possible delight

When I was young

I thought silly people wrote poems 

That no one else could comprehend 

Now that I am a bit old 

I can understand what emotions these lines could hold 

The birth of a child, the song of lovebirds, the tears of separation 

Oh! Poetry can also be awesome.

I peeped into my watch

And danced with a kid like mirth

It has been two minutes already

And it has been fun.

I now remember my childhood place

And my momma cooking food that was great to taste

Papa coddling me in his lap

My brothers, my friends

And my childhood angels…

Oh! That was a life.

As I grew older

Casting away the childhood garb

I saw that people just change…

Without giving a damn

“Dreamer, dream no more”--- My head said

“Not until I die”--- I retorted in disdain.

I promised to wrap it up in 5 mins flat… 

And I am running against time perhaps. 

But true to myself 

This is one last promise that I shall not fail

Its over, it’s over… O’ yeah… it’s over my dear!
