Lost, Forgotten Verse….

mage@goggle

While searching for me in myself

I found a lost forgotten verse in shelf

Buried among pale, smoky leaflets

In neglected, dusty book of heart

Behind flowery curtain of skin

In some isolated corner of dark

I left it there scribbled by default

May be knowingly or by fault

 It’s hard to recall or to rewind

With so many foggy layers on mind

But whatever be the reasons

It had missed so many seasons

Without any glare of criticism

Without any shade of appraisal

When I took it out curious n’ eager

Manuscript was too old to decipher

Ink was faded, words were muddled,

But essence of emotions still unfurled

Having sinking classic taste n’ flavor

But not without fresh aroma of rhyme

Having fragile old ways n’ tradition

But not devoid of modern hymn

It reverberated with old thoughts

All fears, failures, faiths; I fought

Dreams, aspirations of tomorrow

Echo rain drops washing my furrow

Neither recited yet, nor was it heard

Today I found my lost, forgotten verse….
